Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp ground ginger

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare Aromatics: Mince the garlic cloves finely and thinly slice the green onions. Set aside, reserving a few for garnish.
  2. Make Sauce: In a glass measuring cup or bowl, combine coconut sugar, coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Whisk together until well blended and set aside.
  3. Heat Fats: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil together over medium heat until hot.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir continuously for one minute until fragrant and softened, being careful not to burn.
  5. Brown Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break the meat into small pieces, cooking until browned thoroughly with no pink remaining, about 7-10 minutes.
  6. Add Sauce and Green Onions: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the browned beef. Add the sliced green onions (except those reserved for garnish) and stir well to combine all flavors.
  7. Simmer: Reduce heat slightly and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve: Serve the spicy sesame ground beef warm over your choice of rice, pasta, potatoes, or lettuce. Garnish with reserved green onions.
