Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the dish low in fat.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef.
Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and sprinkle the ground cumin, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes over the mixture. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes, or until the peas are warmed through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve hot, accompanied by whole-grain rice or a side salad for a balanced meal.
