Cuisine: American / Asian
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients 

• 2 tablespoons avocado oil (divided)
• 1 pounds lean ground beef or bison
• 1/4 cup coconut aminos, tamari, Bragg liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
• 2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
• 1 1/2 cups small chopped broccoli florets
• 4 cups cauliflower rice
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 3 teaspoons sesame seeds

Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir fry the beef while mincing with a wooden spoon until golden and cooked through. Drain fat. Drizzle the coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar into the beef, stir, then set beef aside on a plate. (To be sure this recipe is gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari if not using aminos.)
2. Heat the remaining oil into the same skillet. Cook the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Stir in the bell pepper and broccoli. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the cauliflower rice and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. (You can chop your own cauliflower or buy frozen riced cauliflower. Thaw before using.)
3. Push the veggies onto one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the free space of the pan and scramble until set. Combine with the veggies. Return beef back into the pan and stir to combine and heat everything through. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. 
4. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
