Festive Ground Beef

jump to recipe

I’m calling this recipe festive beef because it has a lot of the flavors you would find during the holiday season. I use dried cranberries, cinnamon, allspice, and clove to season the ground beef. If you are on a Whole30, be sure to read your labels because most dried cranberries add sugar. I get mine from Thrive Market. This recipe also includes fried plantains, one of my favorite things.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, small dice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 C dried cranberries
  • 2 C asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 C full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground clove
  • 1 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 ripe plantain, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 5 T ghee

‍

Instructions
  1. In a large skillet on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of ghee with the onion and garlic. Sweat the onions and garlic for about 5 minutes. The onion should be translucent and the mixture should be fragrant.
  2. Add the ground beef and break it up into small pieces. Cook the beef until no pink remains. Add the asparagus, coconut milk, cinnamon, allspice, clove, 1 teaspoons of sea salt, and cranberries. Turn the heat to low, mix everything thoroughly, and simmer the beef until the asparagus is soft and the coconut milk has thickened. This should take about 7 minutes.
  3. While the beef mixture simmers, in a separate sauté pan on medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of ghee. Sprinkle the sliced plantains with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Once the pan is hot, add the plantains and cook until they are golden brown. Flip the plantain slices over and cook the other side until golden brown. Once both sides have been cooked, remove the plantains and set them aside.
  4. Serve the beef mixture with a few plantain slices per serving.
