Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant and golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 spiralized medium zucchinis (zoodles), 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes to the skillet. Toss gently and cook for 3-4 minutes until the zoodles are just tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately for a fresh, low-carb meal.
