Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 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, 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!
