Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 piece Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and half of the red onion.
Add the chopped garlic and red onion to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula. Continue cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to combine the spices evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the beef mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture with the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, even spread forms.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the mixture for a burst of freshness.
Transfer the spicy beef spread to a serving dish or an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the spread chilled or at room temperature with your choice of crackers, toasted bread, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
