Calories: 275kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion diced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 Tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce, optional
- 5 ounces 2 big handfuls baby spinach
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste*
Instructions
- Add the avocado oil to a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Add the chopped onion and sprinkle liberally with sea salt. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to turn brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. We’re trying to get the onion to a near-caramelized state quickly in order to maximize its flavor potential.
- Stir in the chopped mushrooms and garlic and continue cooking until the mushrooms have softened and turn brown, about another 5 minutes. Move the veggies off to the side and add the ground beef. Allow it to brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side, then use a spatula to break it into smaller chunks and mix well. Continue cooking and stirring until the ground beef has cooked through and no pink is left.
- Add the oregano, coconut aminos or soy sauce (if adding), spinach, and sea salt and stir well. Cover the skillet and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes. Taste the mixture for flavor and add more sea salt or a splash of liquid aminos or soy sauce to taste.
- Serve with your choice of side dishes, and enjoy!

Notes
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger (peeled and grated) if you enjoy ginger!
*If adding soy sauce, wait until the end of cooking to add any salt, as soy sauce often has enough sodium without the need for extra salt.
