Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping the kale, onion, and carrot, then mince the garlic. Set aside.
-
Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrot to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
-
Season: Stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
-
Add Kale and Broth: Add the chopped kale to the skillet and pour in the beef broth. Stir everything together, making sure the kale is well combined with the beef and vegetables. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the kale is tender and wilted.
-
Add Soy Sauce: Stir in the soy sauce or coconut aminos to enhance the flavor. Give everything one final stir.
-
Serve: Serve hot, and enjoy a delicious, nutrient-packed meal!
