INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil, (see note)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, (add more if you like it sweeter)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce , (use coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (see note)
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, depending on how spicy you like it
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef in the sesame oil. Add the garlic towards the end of browning and cook for a couple of minutes. Drain the fat.
  2. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and red pepper. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions. If going for a low carb option, it's great over lettuce too!

NOTES

  • If you're like me and don't use fresh ginger that often, remember that fresh ginger freezes well. They also sell ginger in a squeeze bottle by the produce and it lasts forever.
  • Sesame oil adds a special something to this dish but it can be pricey so you can use another oil.
