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, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the green onions, reserving a few slices 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 mixed and set aside.
  3. Heat Fat: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and hot.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir continuously for about one minute until softened and fragrant.
  5. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned throughout with no pink remaining, about 7-10 minutes.
  6. Add Sauce and Onions: Pour the prepared sesame sauce into the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine, then add the sliced green onions (except reserved garnish) and mix well.
  7. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Serve: Serve the spicy sesame ground beef warm over your choice of rice, pasta, potatoes, or lettuce. Garnish with the reserved green onions.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef for a leaner option.
  • Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
  • For a gluten-free dish, ensure your coconut aminos are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
