Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot, either on its own or alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or zucchini noodles.
