Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

Sauce:

• ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce – or a gluten-free alternative
• 1 tablespoon honey – or a liquid sugar-free sweetener
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Stir-fry:

• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 pound lean ground beef – 85/15
• 1 tablespoon fresh garlic – minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root – minced

To finish the dish:

• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• ¼ cup green onions – green parts only thinly sliced

Method

 

1. In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as you cook, about 5 minutes.
4. Drain the beef and return it to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
5. Stir the sauce into the beef. Cook for 2 more minutes, until heated through and the sauce thickens.
6. Off heat, drizzle the dish with sesame oil, sprinkle it with sliced green onions, and serve.

Notes

• I highly recommend using lean ground beef (85% lean and 15% fat) in this recipe. Don’t go any leaner than that, or it will be too dry and not as flavorful.
• Sesame oil is a must. It greatly enhances the dish, so please don’t skip it. Don’t use refined sesame oil – it’s nearly flavorless. Toasted sesame oil is best.
• If using a sugar-free honey substitute, each serving of this recipe contains 3 grams of carbs.
• You can keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them covered in the microwave at 50% power. You can also cool the leftovers completely and freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating.
