Asian style beef and cauliflower rice bowls

I am always looking for different ways to cook ground beef.  This is an inexpensive and quick meal you can pull together on a week night and it will taste as if you put in a lot more effort and time than you actually did ;)


You will need...
1-11/2 lbs of lean ground beef (or a blend of beef and pork)
1 tbsp of grape seed oil (or oil of your choice for frying)
2-3 tbsp of honey or brown sugar 
1/4 cup of low sodium soy sauce (tamari sauce or coconut aminos will work as well)
1 tbsp of sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp of freshly grated ginger
1-2 thai chillies, seeded and finely chopped (depending on how spicy you like it)
1 tbsp of fish sauce 
salt and pepper to taste
1 bunch of green onions

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the grape seed oil. Season the beef with salt and pepper and mix well. Fry the  beef in the hot pan for 5-7 minutes until crisp and brown. Remove beef and set aside. Drain the fat and wipe out the pan.  
Add the sesame oil, then add the garlic, ginger and chillies. Fry for about a  minute.
Add in the ground beef and the remaining ingredients, except for green onion.
Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes to allow the flavours to come together.
Serve over cauliflower rice and top with chopped green onions.

Cauliflower Coconut Rice
1 medium head of cauliflower, washed and chopped  (using food processor) to about the size of a grain of rice
1/2  an onion, finely diced
1/4 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
1 tbsp of coconut oil (or oil of your choice)

In a large pan, saute the onion in coconut oil over medium heat.
Add in your cauliflower and coconut.
 Mix well and cook for  about 5-8 min. You don't want the cauliflower mushy.
