Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked beef (ground or finely chopped)
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the smoked beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and brown for 5‑6 minutes until no longer pink.
- Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss to combine with the beef.
- Pour the sweet chili sauce over the mixture, stir gently to coat, then cover the skillet with a lid.
- Simmer for 8‑10 minutes, checking once or twice, until the sprouts are tender but still have a slight bite. If the sauce thickens too quickly, add a splash of water or low‑sodium broth.
- Remove the lid, give the skillet a final stir, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot. Garnish with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.
