Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 teaspoon coconut (olive, or vegetable oil)
  • 2 scallions (white portion thinly sliced, green portion reserved for garnish, if desired)
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed or minced)
  • 1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1-1 ¼ lbs lean ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 cup leftover cooked brown or white rice
  • 2 cups cooked broccoli (cut into small florets)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Leaves of Butter (Boston or Bibb lettuce)
  • Optional shredded or julienned carrot for garnish

Instruction

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the scallion and saute for 2-3 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic and ginger, and saute for another for 30 second to 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef, red pepper, and salt and pepper. Break up beef while cooking, and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add the rice and broccoli, heat through, then add the soy sauce. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring only occasionally to allow the rice and broccoli to crisp up a bit in spots.
  • Serve in lettuce cups, garnishing with green portions of the scallions and carrots, if desired.
