Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, broccoli, and radishes and stir well. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Scoot the vegetables to one side of the cast iron skillet and add the ground beef. Flatten the beef against the skillet, creating a beef layer. Sprinkle with sea salt and ground ginger.
  3. Allow beef to brown 2 minutes, then flip to the other side and continue browning another 2 minutes. Break the beef up into chunks with a spatula and stir into the vegetables so that everything is combined.
  4. Add the zucchini squash and yellow squash and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through and vegetables have reached desired done-ness, about 5 minutes. Taste the vegetable and ground beef skillet for flavor and season to taste with sea salt.
  5. Remove the lid and continue cooking and stirring occasionally until much of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Serve in bowls and enjoy!

Notes

  • *If you're sensitive to broccoli, use one bunch of broccolini instead. I've found broccoli can be difficult to digest, whereas broccolini is easier on the GI.
  • If you aren't sensitive to onion and garlic, add 1 cup of chopped yellow or red onion and 3 to 5 cloves of garlic. You can also add garlic powder or onion powder.
