Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 85/15 recommended
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
  • 3 green onions sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar substitute like erythritol
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum for thickening
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet or Wok
  • 1 Small Bowl
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, water, brown sugar substitute, and sesame oil.
  4. Pour the sauce over the ground beef mixture. Bring to a simmer. Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the top and whisk vigorously to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Remove from heat. Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and sesame seeds, then serve immediately.
