Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
Optional Vegetables:
- 1 cup (150 grams) green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) chopped carrots
Cooking and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) water
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) turmeric powder
Instructions
- Warm a skillet with olive oil over medium heat, creating a smooth cooking surface for the meat.
- Gently crumble ground beef into the pan, using a wooden spoon to break it into small, even pieces while cooking until it transforms to a rich, caramel-brown color.
- Introduce vibrant green peas and optional carrots into the skillet, folding them carefully into the cooked meat to distribute evenly.
- Splash a measured amount of water into the mixture, then reduce the flame to a gentle simmer, allowing ingredients to meld together and vegetables to soften for approximately 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle turmeric across the dish, stirring to incorporate its golden hue and potential health benefits throughout the meal.
- Transfer the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely, ensuring a safe temperature for your canine companion before serving.
Notes
- Always choose lean ground beef to minimize excess fat for your dog’s diet.
- Opt for fresh or frozen green peas without added salt for maximum nutritional value.
- Consider breaking down larger pieces of meat and vegetables to prevent choking hazards for smaller dogs.
- Allow the meal to cool completely before serving to prevent potential mouth burns and maintain ideal serving temperature.
