Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Adds aromatic depth.
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste For seasoning.
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions Provides fresh crunch.
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce Infuses umami flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium heat, crumbling it as it cooks.
  2. Once the beef has browned, add in sliced green onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sriracha (if using). Cook until beef is cooked through and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add avocado oil and shredded Brussels sprouts, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté until soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, mixing it with sweet chili sauce and lime juice. Stir until evenly coated.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For added texture, consider incorporating finely chopped bell peppers or carrots. Swap avocado oil for sesame oil for richer flavor, using it sparingly. Adjust sriracha based on heat preference.
