Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef

Instructions
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Peel and grate the carrot and thinly slice the celery stalks.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Increase the heat slightly and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the meat is browned.
Stir in the grated carrot and sliced celery, continuing to cook for an additional 3 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften.

Combine well and bring to a simmer, then lower the heat.
Add the balsamic vinegar and coconut aminos, stirring to incorporate all flavors.
Cover and let the sauce simmer gently for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, either on its own or over a bed of zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice to keep it Paleo-friendly.
