Seeds Free Beef and Sweet Potato Skillet
Warm, deeply savory, and just a little sweet, this one-pan dinner is the kind of weeknight meal that feels far more special than the effort it takes. Ground beef and tender sweet potato cubes come together in a fragrant blend of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon — a spice combination that smells incredible the moment it hits the pan. Coconut aminos and bone broth pull everything into a glossy, lightly sauced finish that coats every bite without being heavy. For anyone navigating a seeds-free lifestyle, this recipe is a genuinely easy win — no sesame oil, no seed-based condiments, and no hidden ingredients to second-guess. Coconut oil handles all the cooking fat, and coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce with a mild, slightly sweet depth that works beautifully with the beef. Everything comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy dinner. Finish it with a handful of fresh parsley if you have it on hand — it adds a bright pop of color and a clean herby note that ties the whole dish together.

4 servings
- 1 ½ lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 ½ lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, divided
- 1 tsp ground turmeric

Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer and cook, stirring every 2–3 minutes, until lightly golden on the outside and just beginning to soften, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp coconut oil to the same skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so it does not brown.
