Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, 85% lean
- 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Keto-friendly cheese, shredded (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the pan by adding two tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up until shimmering.
- Sauté one finely chopped onion and three minced garlic cloves in the hot oil until they are translucent and fragrant for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add one pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Introduce two cups of fresh or frozen broccoli florets into the mixture and stir them in gently but thoroughly.
- Pour in one cup of low-sodium chicken broth along with one teaspoon of dried Italian herbs, stirring everything together and letting it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant.
Notes
Storage: Allow the Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it for up to 2 months. To freeze, ensure it is well-sealed to prevent freezer burn.
Reheating: To reheat, place the skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions in a microwave-safe dish for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through for even heating.
Serving: Serve the Keto Hamburger Broccoli Skillet hot, garnished with shredded keto-friendly cheese if desired. It pairs well with a side salad or can be enjoyed on its own for a satisfying, low-carb meal.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor, consider customizing the dish by incorporating additional vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini. You can also experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences, enhancing the overall profile of this easy and nutritious dish.
