Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef Mixture
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound shredded Brussels sprouts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Sauce and Garnish
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1/2 of a lime, juiced
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to a large skillet and crumble it as it cooks. Stir in the green onions and season with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, sriracha (if using), and soy sauce. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Once done, remove the beef mixture from the skillet onto a plate and set aside.
- Sauté Brussels Sprouts: Heat a tablespoon of avocado oil in the same skillet. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts, seasoning them with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté the sprouts until they become soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked ground beef mixture back into the skillet with the Brussels sprouts. Pour in the sweet chili sauce and the juice of half a lime. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly in the sauce and heat through for a couple of minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired. Serve this flavorful ground beef and Brussels sprouts mixture over rice or your preferred side dish.
Notes
- For extra heat, adjust the amount of sriracha or add chili flakes.
- Shredded Brussels sprouts cook faster than whole ones; make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning.
- This dish is versatile and can be served with rice, quinoa, or noodles.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure that soy sauce is replaced with gluten-free tamari.
