Keto Vegan Ground Beef
How to Make It
Step 1
Start by finely dicing mushrooms into the smallest pieces you can. The closer you can get the mushrooms to a minced texture, the more they will resemble ground beef. Cremini mushrooms are best for the recipe because they have a darker color and a deeper flavor. However, you can use plain white mushrooms for this recipe as well. Your minced mushrooms should equal the weight listed in the ingredients.
Step 2
Pour the olive oil into a large pan and heat it over high heat. Wait for the oil to be hot for frying, then add the minced mushrooms to the pan. Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, and stir the ingredients together. Let the mushrooms sit undisturbed in the pan until they become charred on one side to mimic charred meat. Then, continually stir and cook the mushrooms until they shrink considerably and become very tender.
Step 3
Take the pan off the stove heat. Stir the milled flaxseed into the pan of “ground beef” and let it stand for 5 minutes. From here, you may continue cooling the vegan ground beef before distributing it amongst meal prep containers or storing it all in one airtight container in the refrigerator. Add the hot vegan ground beef to your Keto tacos, burrito bowls, burgers, and chilis.
