Equipment

  • 12-inch skillet
  • spatula

Ingredients

Method

  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 pound 93% Lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp Ground ginger
  • 1 clove garlic pressed
  • 1/4 tsp chile flakes ((omit if you prefer))
  • 2 tbsp Tamari Soy Sauce (reduced sodium)
  • 1 tbsp Siracha
  • 1 tbsp Low carb brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp White vinegar
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 1/2 cups Cauliflower rice

Instructions

Method

  • Heat a 12 inch skillet with the sesame oil over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef and break it into small crumbles with a spatula as it cooks for about 4 minutes. Look for light browning across the beef and less moisture collecting in the skillet.
  • Add the pressed garlic, ground ginger, and chile flakes, then raise the heat to high and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. The beef should become deeply browned and crisp at the edges while the garlic smells fragrant rather than dark or bitter.
  • Stir in the tamari, white vinegar, low carb brown sugar, and Siracha, and cook for another minute while tossing the beef through the sauce. The liquid should bubble briefly and thicken into a light glaze that coats the crumbles.
  • Turn off the heat, squeeze in the lime juice, and spoon the beef over cauliflower rice; top with scallions and cilantro if desired. The finished bowl should smell bright and sesame-forward, with glossy beef over a warm, dry base.

Notes

Pan tip: Spoon off excess rendered fat before adding the aromatics so the garlic and spices sizzle directly on the hot skillet rather than simmering in liquid.
Texture tip: Sauté cauliflower rice in a dry skillet until steam fades, or press thawed frozen rice in a clean towel so excess liquid does not water down the glaze.
Storage: Pack leftover beef and cauliflower rice in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator below 40°F to prevent the rice from absorbing extra moisture.
