Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb grass-fed ground beef, breaking into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and no longer pink, then drain excess fat.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup grated carrot and 1 cup diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften and release moisture.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp coconut aminos, 1/4 cup chicken broth, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef evenly.
  5. Step 5: While the beef simmers, heat 1/2 tbsp avocado oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups cauliflower rice and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender but still crisp.
