Ingredients:

14g
1 onion
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 jalapeno peppers
27g
3 stalks celery
120g
3 carrots
180g
1/2 cauliflower
130g
1 bunch broccoli
610g
1 lb ground beef (80/20%)
450g
1/4 tsp sage
0.18g
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
0.55g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 tsp fresh thyme
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and finely slice the jalapeno peppers.
- Chop the celery and slice the carrots.
- Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets.
2. Cook the Onion and Garlic:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet.
- Once the oil has melted and is hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic.
- Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the Jalapenos and Celery:
- Add the finely sliced jalapeno peppers and chopped celery to the skillet.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Cook the Carrots, Cauliflower, and Broccoli:
- Add the sliced carrots, cauliflower florets, and broccoli florets to the skillet.
- Stir well to combine all the vegetables.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften but still have a bit of crunch.
5. Brown the Ground Beef:
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet to create space for the ground beef.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and use a spatula to break it into small pieces.
- Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Season the Stir-Fry:
- Sprinkle the sage, turmeric powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme over the beef and vegetables.
- Stir everything together until the beef and vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
7. Combine and Serve:
- Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Remove from heat and serve the stir-fry hot.

Tips:

- Prepare all the vegetables in advance and keep them ready to go before you start cooking for a smoother cooking process.

- Use a high-quality ground beef, preferably grass-fed, to enhance the nutritional value and flavor.

- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less jalapeno peppers.

- Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp to maintain their nutritional value and texture.

- Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as bell peppers or zucchini, to make the dish even more colorful and nutritious.

- Serve the stir-fry on its own for a low-carb meal, or pair it with cauliflower rice for a more substantial dish.
