Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 12 ounces Green beans
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Heat over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and green beans, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
