Ingredients
  

For the Beef Mixture
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef Use lean to keep your dish healthy and not too greasy.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds depth of flavor; fresh minced garlic can boost the taste further.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Essential for enhancing the dish's overall flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Essential for enhancing the dish's overall flavor.
  • 3 stalks Green Onions Their mild onion flavor brightens the dish; substitute with chives if necessary.
  • 2 tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce Introduces umami; for gluten-free option, use tamari.
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Optional for a spicy kick; omit for a milder taste.
For the Vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil Ideal cooking oil for frying; olive oil is a great alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef, crumbling it as it cooks for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned with no pink remaining. As it cooks, season it with garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and sliced green onions for that burst of flavor.
  2. In the same skillet, add another splash of avocado oil if needed and increase the heat to medium-high. Toss in the shredded Brussels sprouts, stirring frequently for about 5-6 minutes, until they're tender and start to caramelize, turning golden brown.
  3. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed Brussels sprouts. Pour in the sweet chili sauce and squeeze fresh lime juice into the mixture. Stir everything together gently for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the ground beef and Brussels sprouts are well-coated and heated through.
  4. Once well-combined, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve the Sweet Chili Ground Beef and Brussels Sprouts over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. For an extra touch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.
