Ingredients

  • 1 shallot, diced

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 pounds ground beef ((see notes))
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos ((see notes))
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce ((see notes))
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice ((can sub white rice if you're not doing Whole30))
  • 6 cups greens of choice ((chopped romaine, arugula, spinach, etc.))
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce ((adjust to taste))
  • chopped green onions
  • sliced avocado

Directions

  1. 1

    Start by preparing rice to have it ready. If serving with cauliflower rice, wait until the beef is almost done as it only takes a few minutes to cook.

  2. 2

    Dice shallot and grate ginger to have it ready.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, add in ground beef. Break the beef up into small bits.

  4. 4

    Add the shallot, ginger, red pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and mix with the beef. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and developing some crispy bits, about 8 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the coconut aminos and fish sauce and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    If you are making the optional sauce, mix the mayo and hot sauce in a small bowl. 

  7. 7

    Serve beef in a bowl over a bed of greens with rice or cauliflower rice. Top with optional sauce and enjoy.
