Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (grass-fed or any Paleo-approved ground meat like turkey or pork)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or avocado oil)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the cooked meat from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the onion, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut aminos and sesame oil (if using). Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.

Step 8

Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using).

Step 9

Serve warm as is or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a completely Paleo-friendly meal.
