Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth (or chicken broth)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. If using fresh broccoli, wash and cut it into bite-sized florets. If using frozen, thaw it beforehand. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add broccoli florets to the skillet. Pour in beef broth and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
- Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Remove the lid and stir. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture, cover again, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from heat and let sit for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy warm, either on its own or with a side salad or avocado slices.
Notes
- Customize the recipe by adding other low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
