Ingredients

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (or a gluten-free alternative)

1 tablespoon honey (or a liquid sugar-free sweetener)

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons avocado oil

1 lb. lean ground beef ((85/15))

1 tablespoon fresh garlic (minced)

1 tablespoon fresh ginger root (minced)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 cup green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced )

Directions

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as you cook, about 5 minutes.

Drain the beef. Return it to the skillet. Add the garlic and the ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Stir the sauce into the beef. Cook for 2 more minutes, until heated through and the sauce thickens.

Off heat, drizzle the dish with sesame oil, sprinkle it with green onions, and serve.
