Equipment

Large skillet or wok
Spatula
Steamer basket (optional)
Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes, for added heat

Instructions

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onions to the skillet, sautéing until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Increase the heat to high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break apart the meat with a spatula and cook until it's browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
While the beef is cooking, steam the Brussels sprouts until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes. You can do this in a steamer basket or in the microwave with a bit of water.
Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat if necessary, and push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add the steamed Brussels sprouts to the empty side of the skillet and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they start to brown.
Stir the beef and Brussels sprouts together in the skillet. Add the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, and ground ginger. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add red pepper flakes if using. Stir everything to combine and cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve hot, garnish with additional red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

For a complete meal, serve this stir fry with a side of cauliflower rice or over a bed of mixed greens.

Adjust the level of heat to your preference by adding more or less red pepper flakes.

To keep this recipe gluten-free, ensure that you use gluten-free soy sauce or opt for coconut aminos.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
