Sesame Free Beef and Brussels Sprouts Hash
This hearty skillet hash is the kind of one-pan meal that earns a permanent spot in your weeknight rotation. Ground beef gets browned with sweet potato, shredded Brussels sprouts, and warm spices like turmeric and ginger, building layers of savory, slightly earthy flavor that feel anything but boring. Coconut aminos step in as the umami-rich finishing touch — a smart swap that keeps things completely free of soy and sesame without sacrificing that deep, savory depth you'd expect from a dish like this. It's worth noting that traditional stir-fry-style sauces are often a minefield for sesame oil or tahini, so using coconut aminos here is a genuinely practical move, not just a trend. The apple cider vinegar adds a bright little kick that ties everything together right at the end. Everything cooks in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve straight from the pan for a meal that looks as good as it tastes.

Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the diced sweet potato in a single layer and cook, stirring every 2–3 minutes, until the edges are golden and the pieces are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Add another 1 tbsp coconut oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so it does not brown.
