A quick and easy low-carb beef and mushroom skillet that’s perfect for keto meals, delivering hearty, flavorful comfort food in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms and finely chop one small onion. Mince two garlic cloves.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil. Heat until shimmering but not smoking (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add 1 lb (450 g) ground beef to the skillet. Break it up gently and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Drain excess liquid if needed.
  4. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds without burning.
  6. Add the sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to combine. If dry, add up to 1/4 cup (60 ml) beef broth or water.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld flavors.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms to ensure proper browning. Use room temperature ground beef for less moisture. Season at multiple stages for best flavor. Optional: swirl in a tablespoon of butter at the end for extra richness. Can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken, or use different mushrooms like portobello or shiitake.
