Ingredients

  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef macros with 96/4
  • 3 oz Sliced Roasted Red Peppers from a jar
  • 2 Tbsp 60g Gochujang
  • 1 Tbsp 15g Sesame Oil
  • 2 Tbsp 30mL Lite Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp 24g Swerve Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground beef to the pan and use a spatula to break it apart. After the ground beef has cooked for 3-4 minutes, add the roasted red peppers.
  • In a bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together until smooth. 
  • Add the sauce mixture to the beef when almost no pink remains in the beef. 
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often. (If you're serving with cauliflower rice, pop a 12-ounce bag of frozen cauliflower rice in the microwave for 5-6 minutes.)
  • Serve the beef over rice or with mixed vegetables and top with optional sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Each serving has 4 Smart Points.
  • Macros do not include cauliflower rice or sesame seeds. 
  • To calculate the weight or measurement of your serving sizes, I recommend weighing the total finished recipe and dividing that weight by four. For more help with this, check out my guide to using a food scale for tracking macros.
