Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (grass-fed if possible)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups (60g) fresh baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup (120ml) tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (for BBQ sauce)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (for BBQ sauce)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the BBQ Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Heat over low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly—about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Season the Ground Beef: In a large bowl, mix ground beef with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Incorporate spices evenly without overmixing.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  4. Sauté the Veggies: In the same pan, add diced red bell pepper and sliced red onion. Cook 4-5 minutes until softened with slight char. Add cherry tomatoes last and cook 2 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Layer fresh baby spinach or mixed greens at the base. Add cooked beef mixture, drizzle with BBQ sauce, then top with sautéed veggies and sliced avocado.
  6. Final Touches: Toss gently if desired or keep layered. Serve immediately for best texture contrast.

Notes

Use freshly ground beef with about 80/20 fat content for best flavor and juiciness. If BBQ sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of water to thin. Slice avocado just before serving to avoid browning. Adjust chili powder and cayenne pepper for desired heat level. Leftovers store well separately for up to 3 days.
