- 1 tbsp, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/4 cup, chopped green onions
Instructions
- 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 it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
