Description
A delicious and hearty skillet dish featuring savory ground beef and tender Brussels sprouts, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the halved Brussels sprouts, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Pour in the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and beef broth. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a low-carb option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
