Ingredients:

• 1 lb. Grass-Fed Ground Beef
• 1/3 Cup coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 3 green onions, sliced

For Serving: 

• 1 1/2 cup cooked white rice
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 large cucumber. thinly sliced
• 8 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
• 2 medium carrots, shredded
• Optional: Sriracha or chili-garlic sauce

Guidance

1. Place a medium or large skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop. When the skillet is hot, add the ground beef to the skillet, stirring and crumbling into small pieces with a spoon, until cooked through. Drain off any excess liquid then return the skillet to the stove.
2. While the beef is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ginger.
3. Add the sauce and the green onions to the ground beef. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes to bring the sauce to a simmer and allow some of the sauce to absorb into the meat (but not so long as to evaporate).
4. Remove from heat and serve the ground beef mixture over hot cooked rice with cucumber, radish, and carrot. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds. Serve with sriracha or chili-garlic sauce, if desired

Additional Notes

• Double or triple your batch for easy meal prep for the week.
• Keep cooked beef and cooked rice in separate air tight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Chop veggies before serving.
• Purchase carrots pre-shredded to save time.
• Add avocado slices with a squeeze of lime juice for a higher fat content and flavor.
