Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce ((or use a gluten-free alternative and add salt as needed))
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or a liquid sugar-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef ((85/15))
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (green parts only)

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as you cook, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the beef. Return it to the skillet. Add the garlic and the ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Stir the sauce into the beef. Cook for 2 more minutes, until heated through and the sauce thickens.
  • Off heat, drizzle the dish with sesame oil, sprinkle it with green onions, and serve.
