Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: soy sauce or balsamic glaze for extra flavor


Instructions

  • Cook beef: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.

  • Sauté veggies: Push beef to one side, add olive oil to the pan, and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.

  • Add sprouts: Toss in Brussels sprouts. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden and tender.

  • Combine: Mix everything together, season with salt, pepper, and optional soy sauce or balsamic glaze.

  • Serve: Enjoy hot as a main dish or side.

  • Add red pepper flakes or Dijon mustard for extra kick.

  • This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or can be served low-carb as-is.
