I didn't have much spare time last night and an almost empty fridge, so I had to get a bit creative in the kitchen to make my Paleo dinner – my take on a beef hash
With half a packet of organic beef mince, a few veggies, and lots of herbs, I managed to put together a delicious meal in under 30 minutes. This recipe is versatile and can work with whichever vegetables you have on hand. I was just limited by a very overdue shopping trip.Sometimes, the best recipes come from necessity and improvisation. This dish is a testament to that, as it combines simple ingredients with bold flavours to create a satisfying meal. The cinnamon adds a unique twist, enhancing the natural sweetness of the sweet potato and creating a comforting aroma that fills the kitchen.
Cinnamon Sweet Potato Beef Hash
Equipment
- Saute Pan
Ingredients
- 200 g Organic Beef Mince
- Tablespoon Coconut oil I'm using Melrose organic unrefined coconut oil at the moment
- 1/4 Sweet potato grated
- 1/2 Zucchini grated
- 3 mushrooms grated
- 1/2 Red onion diced
- 1 Carrot diced
- 1 Capsicum diced
- 1 Small tin organic tomato paste the brand I use has no added ingredients, other than tomatoes
- I used 1 teaspoon of each garlic powder onion powder, cinnamon (I love cinnamon and have been using it in everything lately!) & salt (I'm using pink Himalayan salt at the moment), oregano and thyme
Instructions
- First, dice the onion and sauté it in the coconut oil until it becomes translucent.
- Next, grate the sweet potato and add it to the onions, allowing it to cook for a few minutes.
- Then, add the beef mince to the pan and cook until thoroughly browned.
- After the meat is browned, add the remaining vegetables, tomato paste, herbs, and seasoning.
- Continue to cook for about ten minutes, stirring frequently to ensure everything is well combined.
- With everything minced, grated, or diced, it all cooks very quickly, making it perfect for a busy evening like last night.
This dish turned out to be a delightful surprise. The combination of sweet potato and cinnamon with the savoury beef mince created a balanced and flavourful meal. I just wish I'd made extra for lunch leftovers!
The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility. You can easily swap out the vegetables based on what you have available, making it a great option for using up whatever's in your fridge. Plus, the quick cooking time makes it ideal for those nights when you need to whip up something tasty without spending too much time in the kitchen.
