Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil or tallow) A rich and fragrant oil that enhances the dish’s aroma.
  • 2 pounds ground beef (at least 85% lean) This premium beef adds a hearty, meaty flavor.
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms (sliced) These mushrooms bring an earthy taste.
  • 1 large sweet onion (sliced) The natural sweetness caramelizes beautifully.
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced) Elevates every bite with its pungency.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut amino acids) Adds a touch of umami.
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic For an extra kick of garlic flavor.
  • Kosher salt (to taste) Enhances the natural flavors of all ingredients.
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste) Adds mild heat to balance the dish.
  • 2 - 3 scallions (green parts only, sliced) For a fresh crunch and vibrant color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over high heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook until the onions are starting to brown and the mushrooms are tender.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic.
  5. Cook until the ground beef is mostly browned, about 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the soy sauce and mix well. Allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle the green onions on top before serving.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider sautéing the onions and mushrooms on lower heat to allow them to caramelize more slowly. Customize by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
