Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
70g
1 red pepper
120g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 cup kale
70g
1 lb ground beef (80/20%)
450g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Dice the onion and red bell pepper.
- Mince the garlic.
- Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
3. Saute the Veggies:
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the pepper begins to soften.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being cautious not to let the garlic burn.
4. Cook the Ground Beef:
- Push the veggies to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef.
- Break up the ground beef with a spatula or wooden spoon and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the beef is fully browned. Make sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

5. Mix Together:
- Once the beef is browned, mix it together with the sautéed veggies.
- Add the chopped kale to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the kale is wilted and tender.
6. Season:
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning based on your preference.
7. Serve:
- Once everything is well combined and cooked through, remove from heat.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Prep Ingredients Ahead: Chop all the vegetables and measure out your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and quick cooking process.

- Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic enhances the flavor much more than pre-minced or powdered garlic. Simply mince a clove for a more robust taste.

- Drain Excess Fat: If your ground beef releases a lot of fat during cooking, you can drain the excess before adding the vegetables to avoid a greasy dish.

- Season to Taste: Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to your preference. You can also add other spices like paprika, cumin, or Italian seasoning for additional flavor.

- Don’t Overcook the Kale: Add the kale towards the end of cooking to retain its bright color and nutrients. Overcooking can make it lose its vibrant green color and nutritional value.

This sauteed ground beef and veggies recipe is a versatile and delicious meal that is both satisfying and nutritious. The combination of savory ground beef with fresh vegetables creates a delightful dish that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Serve it over rice, pasta, or as a filling for tacos or wraps, and you’ll have a tasty meal that's sure to please.
