Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 yellow (browning) plantains, peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces.**
  • 2 oz pancetta (1 small package) or a few slices of prosciutto
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium apple, diced
  • 2 large handfuls fresh Arugula
  • 3-4 Tbsp Tessemae’s Honey Balsamic Dressing
Directions
  1. Heat 2 Tbsp coconut oil until hot in a large cast iron skillet. Gently place the plantains around the skillet, and Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Watch them closely so they don’t burn! Carefully flip with a small metal spatula or fork, then remove from the heat and place in a bowl.
  2. Next, add the pancetta to the pan, and cook until crispy - about 3-4 minutes. Move the pieces around with a wooden spoon so they get evenly browned. Remove from the pan and combine with the plantains.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan with a small pinch of sea salt (about ¼ tsp). Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, until the onions start to get translucent. Then, add in the beef, breaking it up with the wooden spoon into small pieces.
  4. The beef will take about 5-7 minutes to brown. With about 2 minutes left, sprinkle the diced apples over the whole skillet and stir them in with the beef.
  5. Once the beef is cooked through to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Mix in the plantains and pancetta, then stir in 2 large handfuls of arugula. Toss with Tessemae’s Honey Balsamic, and serve!
