Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Proteins

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brussels sprouts: Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves, then cut each sprout in half for even cooking.
  2. Brown the beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking the meat into small pieces, until evenly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the browned beef. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and the garlic is fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Cook Brussels sprouts: Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet, tossing everything together to combine. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown on the edges and tender-crisp in texture.
  5. Season and serve: Taste the dish and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve the mixture warm on a platter for a delicious and nutritious meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Make sure not to overcook Brussels sprouts to keep their slight crunch and avoid bitterness.
  • This dish pairs well with crusty bread or steamed rice for a more filling meal.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the dish lighter.
