One-Pan Paleo Beef & Veggie 'Not Quite' Omelette 2015-12-08 10:31:42 Serves 1 (very hungry) or 2 (lightly hungry) Write a review Save Recipe Print Prep Time 5 min Cook Time 25 min Total Time 30 min Prep Time 5 min Cook Time 25 min Total Time 30 min Ingredients Sweet Potato (1 small, or 1/2 of a large one) Celery (two large stalks) Broccoli (approx. 1/3 of a head – 10-12 bite sized pieces) Garlic (1 large clove) Ginger (minced – approximately 2 tsps.) Ground Beef (grass-fed) 4oz. 2 Eggs Coconut Oil & Grass-fed Organic Ghee (or butter) Apple Cider Vinegar (optional) Avocado (optional) Seasoning Salt Pepper Rosemary Thyme Turmeric Cayenne Pepper Instructions Clean off all vegetables and set the frying pan heat to medium high (7/10) Note: this is highly variable, I turn my stove top on because it takes about 5 minutes for it to reach the desired heat, if you have a super powerful stove top – you can wait until right before you add the veggies to turn it on. Add Coconut oil (one tablespoon), add Ghee (1/2 tablespoon) – put top on pan Dice the sweet potato into half-inch cubes – add to already warm pan – replace top Dice celery into bite sized pieces – add to pan – replace top Chop broccoli into bite sized pieces – add to pan (BUT, on top of cooking sweet potatoes and celery – prevents burning and gives a ‘steaming’ effect’) – replace top Mince Ginger (approx. 2 tsps) – add to pan -replace top Mince Garlic – add to pan – replace top Note: After adding the garlic – thoroughly stir/mix the vegetable helping to ensure minimal burning Add Seasoning to vegetables – approx 1 tsp of each seasoning (except Cayenne pepper -> 1/2 tsp) in the ingredient list Let the vegetables simmer for approx. 30 seconds – THEN – very important – push all vegetables to one-half of the frying pan and shift the frying pan so only the empty half is over the heat. Replace top. Note: If there is a balance issue with your frying pan, perhaps place a heating pad or oven mitt under the side with the vegetables. Add a tsp of Ghee to the empty side of the pan, and then add approximately 4 oz. of ground beef to the pan, add seasoning (1/2 tsp of all listed seasonings) Note: Ideally use a separate spatula to handle the meat until it’s fully cooked (approx. 2 -3 minutes, flipping the beef around 1,5 min) Once the beef is cooked – combine all of the ingredients back together and mix for 10-15 seconds, flipping, turning etc. The goal is to limit any burning of the vegetables/meat. Replace top. Next, take two eggs and crack them on top of the beef and veggie mixture. Do not mix or stir at this point. Replace top for 45 seconds to one minute. After waiting, take the frying pan off of the heat and stir actively, cooking the eggs on the heat of the pan and vegetables. Then, quickly place the pan back on the heat and mix actively for approximately 25 seconds. Immediately plate the mix into a plate/bowl of your choosing. OPTIONAL: I like to add a few splashes of Apple Cider vinegar for flavor and then dice up some Avocados to add on top if I have them around. Kitchen Tools Needed 1 Frying pan (with top) 2 Spatulas (if available). One is fine, just clean off the spatula after cooking the meat prior to mixing all ingredients together. 1 Stove top By John The Paleo Penny Pincher http://www.paleopennypincher.com/ NOTE: If you are having trouble finding Grass-Fed Organic Ghee or High-Quality Coconut Oil (which I seem to always have a problem finding in my local grocery stores) I have embedded links to my favorites!
