One of my favorite ground beef recipes, this flavorful Korean ground beef is served over cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (or a gluten-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or a liquid sugar-free sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced )

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as you cook, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain the beef and return it to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Stir the sauce into the beef. Cook for 2 more minutes, until heated through and the sauce thickens.

  6. 6

    Off heat, drizzle the dish with sesame oil, sprinkle it with sliced green onions, and serve.
