Ingredients

  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1/3 C 80g Low Sodium Soy Sauce*
  • 1/3 C 63g Swerve Brown (or Dark Brown Sugar)
  • 5 cloves 20g Garlic, grated or finely minced
  • 2 " piece 10g Peeled Ginger, grated or finely minced
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 C 120g Beef Broth
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds and Scallions for garnish

Optional

  • 9 oz pack Trader Joe's Hearts of Palm Noodles

Instructions

  • Add the brown sugar, black and red pepper, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce to a bowl and mix together before adding the beef broth. Set aside.
  • Brown and fully cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once cooked, add the sauce and continue cooking over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 6-8 minutes. (If you're adding the noodles, add in the last 5 minutes.)
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion. And if you're skipping the palm noodles, rice.

Notes

*Make sure to use low sodium soy sauce to avoid an overly salty dish. If you only have regular soy sauce, use a bit less and add more beef broth. You can always add more soy sauce at the end.
