Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 3 cups cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely dicing the onion and mincing the garlic cloves. Chop the red bell pepper into small pieces and dice the green onions and cilantro for garnish.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the onion. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook while breaking up the meat with a spatula until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Season the beef mixture with soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine the flavors into the meat and vegetables.

Step 6

In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.

Step 9

Serve the savory ground beef and cauliflower rice hot, garnished with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro.
