Korean Beef Bowls (Paleo-Friendly)
Ingredients:
For the Beef:
• 1 lb Permaculture Pastures grass-fed ground beef (from your half cow share)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or avocado oil)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (Paleo-friendly substitute for soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon local raw honey (from Permaculture Pastures for the perfect sweetness!)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for Paleo)
• 1 teaspoon ground red pepper (or more, depending on your spice preference)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
For the Cauliflower Rice:
• 1 head cauliflower, grated or processed into rice-sized pieces
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or avocado oil)
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Make the Cauliflower Rice:
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets, then pulse in a food processor until it resembles the texture of rice. Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the grass-fed ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
3. Add the Flavorful Sauce:
Once the beef is cooked through, stir in the coconut aminos, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, red pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until the beef is evenly coated with the sauce. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Assemble the Korean Beef Bowls:
To assemble, spoon the cauliflower rice into bowls and top with the seasoned ground beef mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and crunch.
