Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85-90% lean)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper (optional)
  • 1 head cauliflower (or pre-riced cauliflower)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (avocado or olive oil)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth (or non-alcohol cooking sherry substitute)
  • 1 pinch xanthan gum (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions

  1. Chop the bell peppers into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
  2. Prepare the cauliflower rice by pulsing fresh cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice, or use pre-riced fresh or frozen cauliflower.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, low-carb sweetener, beef broth, and any optional spices until well combined.
  4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add cooking oil.
  5. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon and cooking until fully browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  6. If using thinly sliced beef, sear it quickly in batches until browned, then set aside.
  7. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, then add minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  9. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the bell peppers and aromatics. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat.
  10. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.
  11. In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  12. Divide the sautéed cauliflower rice among serving bowls. Spoon the beef and pepper mixture over the cauliflower rice.
  13. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
