    4. Cook the ground beef: Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat, spray with avocado oil, and add the ground beef. Let it sear untouched for a few minutes to develop a crust, then break it up, add minced garlic, olive oil, and the Mediterranean seasoning blend. Stir and continue cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through.
