Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 medium red onion chopped
  • 1 lb grass-fed ground beef
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small red bell pepper cored and chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt to taste
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2/3 cup wild rice
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth or chicken broth
  • 1 small bunch rainbow chard chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil to medium-high in a cast iron skillet. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Move onions off to the side and add the hunk of ground beef. Sear the beef for 2 to 3 minutes per side before breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spatula.
  • Add the remaining ingredients except for the rainbow chard and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook at a gentle simmer for 40 minutes, or until much of the liquid has absorbed.
  • Add the chopped rainbow chard, replace the cover and cook until chard has wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir well and serve!
