Ingredients

Units Scale

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Main Protein and Aromatics

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced (reserve a few for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare aromatics: Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the green onions. Set aside for later use.
  2. Make the sauce: In a bowl, combine coconut sugar, coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk and set aside.
  3. Cook aromatics: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant and softened.
  4. Cook beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no pink remains, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Add sauce: Pour the prepared sesame sauce over the cooked beef and stir to combine. Mix in sliced green onions, reserving a few for garnish.
  6. Simmer: Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for 2-5 minutes to meld flavors.
  7. Serve: Serve warm over rice, pasta, potatoes, or greens, garnished with remaining green onions.

Notes

  • Adjust the red pepper flakes for your spice preference.
  • This dish is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to two days.
  • Pair with steamed rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
