Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
- 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon honey (omit for Whole30)
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ – 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (such as Huy Fong or Lee Kum Kee brand; sold in a small jar, similar to Sriracha, which could be used as a substitute)
- For serving: cooked white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice
- For garnish: sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, spray with cooking spray and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and swirl the pan to coat. Add the green beans, peppers, and onions to the pan and cook until green beans are just tender, about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove vegetables to a shallow bowl or plate and cover with another plate to keep warm.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray then add the ground beef. Break up the meat using a spatula and cook, stirring frequently, for 6 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Return the skillet with the cooked beef to the stove. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil, the coconut aminos, honey, ginger and chili garlic sauce. Stir to combine.
- Stir the vegetables back into the meat mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are hot.
- Remove from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Serve beef and vegetable mixture over rice of choice.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
