Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cups cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the onion and mincing the garlic cloves. Chop the red bell pepper into small pieces and dice the green onions and cilantro for garnish.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the onion. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook while breaking up the meat with a spatula until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the beef mixture with soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine the flavors into the meat and vegetables.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender.
Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes allowing the flavors to meld.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Serve the savory ground beef and cauliflower rice hot, garnished with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro.
