Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
• 12 ounces Green beans
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and green beans, stirring well to coat everything evenly.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Remove from heat and serve immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
