Vegetable and Ground Beef Skillet

This Vegetable and Ground Beef Skillet blends a variety of chopped vegetables like carrots, broccoli, radishes, zucchini, and yellow squash with seasoned ground beef, cooked together in a skillet until tender and well combined. The recipe uses simple seasoning with salt and optional ground ginger for added flavor. The stir-and-cover cooking method allows the vegetables to soften while the beef browns and integrates with the vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 carrot peeled and chopped, large
  • 1 broccoli chopped, large crown
  • 6 radish chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef grass-fed
  • 1 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
  • 2 tsp ground ginger optional
  • 1 zucchini chopped, medium
  • 1 yellow squash chopped, large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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

  • You can substitute broccolini for broccoli to ease digestion if sensitive to broccoli.
  • Adding one cup of chopped onion and 3–5 cloves of garlic is optional if you tolerate these flavors.
  • Using garlic powder or onion powder is an alternative to fresh onions and garlic.
