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
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- ½ cup bone broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. It won't give the body or richness of bone broth, so it's best where broth is mainly a cooking liquid or flavor base. - 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
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.
