Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 unit small onion
• 2 unit cloves garlic
• 1 unit bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 units green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head and cut it into florets.

Step 2

Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains and set aside.

Step 3

Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and slice the bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes until tender.

Step 7

Add the coconut aminos, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors, and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the processed cauliflower rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes or until it achieves a desired tenderness.

Step 9

Serve the savory ground beef mixture over a bed of cauliflower rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

Step 10

Enjoy your Whole30 savory ground beef with cauliflower rice immediately!
