🛒 Ingredients

  • 10 oz lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice (or 1.5 cups cauliflower rice for lower carb)
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin or honey
  • 1 tablespoon sake or dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and beginning to caramelize, stirring occasionally.
2. Add minced garlic and ginger to the onions, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Push onions to the side of the skillet. Add beef slices in a single layer and increase heat to high. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned, breaking apart as needed.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and beef broth. Pour mixture over beef and onions.
5. Stir everything together and simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce reduces and beef is cooked through. The sauce should coat the beef and onions.
6. While beef cooks, prepare rice base: heat cauliflower rice in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes, or warm pre-cooked brown rice.
7. Divide rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with equal portions of beef and onion mixture with sauce.
8. Garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
