Creating Ground Beef and Brussels Sprouts is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Onion: Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Brown the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Season the Mixture: Stir in the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
6. Add Brussels Sprouts: Incorporate the halved Brussels sprouts into the skillet, stirring to combine with the beef mixture.
7. Cook the Brussels Sprouts: Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender but still slightly crisp.
8. Optional Additions: If using, add soy sauce and beef broth for extra flavor, and allow to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These straightforward steps will lead you to a fantastic meal that is both nutritious and satisfying.
