Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, remove any excess grease from the pot.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the meat, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the chopped celery, diced green bell pepper, and cauliflower florets. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the canned diced tomatoes with their juices, beef broth, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Season the stew with the bay leaf, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate all the flavors.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish each serving with chopped parsley for extra freshness and flavor.
Serve the stew hot and enjoy your low carb, hearty meal.
