A robust, one-pan skillet meal that's all about deep, savory comfort. Ground beef simmered with tender collard greens, infused with smoky paprika and a hint of mustard, creating a satisfying and unpretentious dish that truly hits the spot.

Ingredients

4 servings
Ground beef (80/20)680 g
Avocado oil (or compliant bacon fat)1 tbsp
Yellow onion0.5
Garlic3 cloves
Collard greens (stems removed, chopped)450 g
Beef broth (no sugar, soy, dairy)250 ml
Smoked paprika1.5 tsp
Mustard powder0.5 tsp
Sea salt1 tsp
Black pepper0.5 tsp

Method

1
Brown the Beef: Heat avocado oil (or bacon fat) in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned and crumbled. Drain off most of the rendered fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
2
Add Aromatics and Greens: Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, and mustard powder, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
3
Simmer and Serve: Add the chopped collard greens to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until collard greens are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving hot.
