Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 12 ounces green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the ground beef to the skillet and season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Once hot, toss in the green beans and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become vibrant green and slightly tender. Add a splash of water as needed to help soften them.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium and push the green beans to one side of the skillet. Add the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to the empty side and sauté for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Step 6
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and mix everything together. Stir in the coconut aminos and red pepper flakes (if using), ensuring the beef and green beans are coated evenly.
Step 7
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy! This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or a side salad to keep it Paleo-friendly.
