Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 units green onions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce over the browned beef and stir to coat the meat evenly.
Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season the beef with salt and black pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, lightly toast the sesame seeds over low heat until golden, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve the Korean beef over a bed of cauliflower rice.
Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
