Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean or leaner)
- 2 cups Green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (sugar-free soy sauce alternative)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or other neutral cooking oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and allow it to heat for about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat, if necessary, and set aside the cooked beef in a separate bowl.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the green beans and sesame oil. Stir-fry the green beans over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Return the ground beef to the skillet with the green beans. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Add the coconut aminos, sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix everything well to evenly coat the beef and green beans with the sauce.
Step 7
Cook everything together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Serve immediately. This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or can be enjoyed on its own for a low-carb meal.
