Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 ounces green beans (trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the green beans and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Remove the green beans from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.
Step 4
Push the beef to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to the empty space. Stir the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then mix it into the beef.
Step 5
Add the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to the beef. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Return the green beans to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the green beans to heat through.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
Step 8
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot, and enjoy this keto-friendly stir-fry on its own or with a side of cauliflower rice!
