Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through; remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 small diced red bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 4 cups riced cauliflower and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently until tender but not mushy.
