Korean Beef Bowl

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 red fresno pepper
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 2-inch piece ginger
• 2 tbsp honey (or 4 medjool dates for Whole30)
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 medium sized red onion finely diced
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 red fresno pepper
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 2 cups shredded red cabbage
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tsp white sesame seeds
• 1 carrot cut into matchstick sized pieces
• 2 cups cooked cauliflower rice, brown rice or white rice
• 1 avocado thinly sliced
• 2 fried eggs
• 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup chopped scallions
• 1/2 cup kimchi (optional)

Instructions

1. To start make the sauce for the beef. In a high speed blender combine the coconut aminos, chili pepper, garlic, ginger and honey and blend until smooth.
2. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add in the diced red onion, cook for 2 minutes and then add the ground beef. Use a wooden spoon to break the beef up into a crumbly texture. After 5 minutes of cooking the beef should no longer be red, pour in the sauce, increase the heat to high and leave the meat to continue to cook for another 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure that it doesn't burn but rather develops a caramelized brown colour.
3. In a blender combine the mayonnaise, Fresno chili pepper and lime juice and blend until smooth.
4. Combine the shredded cabbage, sesame oil, lime juice and sesame seeds in a bowl and stir until well mixed.
5. Divide the rice and ground beef mixture between two large bowls. Next add the cabbage, carrot and sliced avocado. If using a fried egg add one to the top of each bowl before garnishing each bowl with the chopped scallions and white sesame seeds and drizzling the spicy sauce overtop.
