Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 12 ounces fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for spice)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. Cut them into 2-inch pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free tamari, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the green beans and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using) to the green beans. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and mix it with the green beans.

Step 9

Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce into the skillet. Stir everything together to evenly coat the beef and beans in the sauce.

Step 10

Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Remove from heat and serve immediately with your choice of gluten-free rice or noodles.
