Number Of Ingredients 17

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 lb freshly ground sirloin
4 clove baked garlic, smashed
1/2 c diced carrots
1/2 c green peas, frozen is fine
1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/4 c tamari sauce

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Chef's Note: With the incorporation of the tamari sauce, this dish tastes rather salty. If you want to tone down that aspect of the recipe, use a low-sodium version of the tamari sauce.
  • 3. Chef's Note: If you have never baked garlic, you are so missing out on a wonderful way to use this excellent ingredient... Here are the instructions for baking garlic: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/cooking-essentials-baked-garlic.html?r=4
  • 4. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Add the ground beef, and the garlic to a skillet over medium heat.
  • 6. Cook, breaking up the sirloin, until cooked through, about 7 - 10 minutes.
  • 7. Add the veggies (carrots, peas), and the ginger white pepper, and pepper flakes.
  • 8. Cook with the sirloin, until the carrots begin to soften, about 3 - 5 minutes.
  • 9. Whisk the coconut sugar, tamari sauce, and sesame oil together in a small bowl, and add to the skillet.
  • 10. Chef's Note: I have tried this recipe using honey in place of the coconut sugar, and loved the flavor that it brought to the dish.
  • 11. Bring to a simmer, and allow to cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • 12. Chef's Tip: If you choose to add a bit of gochu jang, and/or fish oil, it will really change the spicy nature of this dish. So, be careful with the additional seasonings.
