Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and toasted sesame oil, stirring well. Set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is cooked through, reduce the heat to medium and pour the coconut amino mixture over the beef, stirring to coat well.
Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, mixing everything thoroughly.
Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top before serving. Serve hot as a main dish, ideally with steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete Whole30 meal.
