Sesame-Ginger Beef & Cauliflower Rice Bowls


Ingredients:

Tamari-Ginger Sauce

3 tablespoons orange juice

3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

2 tablespoons tamari (soy sauce)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced

 

Bowls

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into pieces

1 tablespoon toasted organic sesame or unrefined coconut oil, divided

3/4 teaspoon sea salt, divided

10 ounces 90% lean ground beef

1 1/2 cups extra-small broccoli florets (4 ounces)

1 1/4 cups snap peas, thinly sliced lengthwise (3.5 ounces)

1/2 cup packed shredded carrot (1.5 ounces)

1 small hot red pepper, extra-thinly sliced

2 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced

1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

 

Instructions:

1. Add all Tamari-Ginger Sauce ingredients to a blender. Cover and puree. Set aside

 

2. Meanwhile, add the cauliflower pieces in two batches to a food processor; pulse until it

resembles rice or couscous. Makes about 4 cups (18 ounces) riced cauliflower.

 

3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil in an extra-large (PFOA-free) nonstick skillet or a wok over

medium-high. Add the riced cauliflower and stir-fry (sauté) until lightly caramelized,

about 7 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Transfer to two meal-sized bowls.

 

4. In the hot skillet, heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil over medium-high. Add the

beef, broccoli, snow peas, carrot, hot pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and

sauté (stir-fry) until beef is well done and veggies are cooked through yet still firm,

about 5 minutes. Stir in the Tamari-Ginger Sauce.

 

5. Transfer to bowls on top of the caramelized rice cauliflower, sprinkle with the scallions

and sesame seeds, and serve.
