Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 unit small onion
- 2 unit cloves garlic
- 1 unit bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 units green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head and cut it into florets.
Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains and set aside.
Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the sliced bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes until tender.
Add the coconut aminos, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors, and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the processed cauliflower rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes or until it achieves a desired tenderness.
Serve the savory ground beef mixture over a bed of cauliflower rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
