Here's a sneak peek at this culinary marvel:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef or bison
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning (the secret's in the Spice Island Italian seasoning from Costco!)
• ½ tsp red chili powder
• Optional: ½ tsp black pepper for an extra kick
• A cup of shredded kale from Trader Joe's
• Salt to taste
• 1.5 to 2 lbs cauliflower
• Beef broth of your choice (I recommend Kettle and Fire or your preferred brand)
• 1 onion
• 2 large tomatoes
• 1 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp garlic paste
• 3 tsp clarified butter, ghee, or oil

Preparation Steps:

1. Heat up a wok and start by sizzling the ground beef or bison in clarified butter or ghee until it's about 80% cooked.
2. Add the Italian seasoning and red chili powder to the meat for that irresistible aroma and flavor.
3. Transfer this seasoned goodness to a pot.
4. Next, chop the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and fry them in the wok until they're almost tender. Add optional black pepper for a spicier kick.
5. Move the fried cauliflower to the pot with the meat.
6. Now, it's time for the onions! Fry them in the wok until they're golden brown, then toss in the tomatoes, ginger paste, and garlic paste for an aromatic blend.
7. Transfer this fragrant mix to the pot.
8. Season with salt and pour in two cups of beef broth, then heat the pot on medium heat.
9. After 10 minutes, add the shredded kale to the pot.
10. Let this culinary masterpiece simmer on low heat for an additional 10 minutes.
11. For an extra touch of richness, consider adding two teaspoons of butter (optional but highly recommended!).

Voilà! You now have a superb recipe that's not only diabetic-friendly but also bursting with flavors. What's even better? This dish tastes just as divine when reheated, making it perfect for leftovers.
