Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head cauliflower (about 5-6 cups florets)*
- ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 frozen steam bag of broccoli (12-14 ounce size)
- 1 pound 90/10 ground beef (or whatever beef you have on hand)
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Directions:
- Trim the head of cauliflower to just florets, removing large stalks and outer leaves. A medium head of cauliflower should give you about 5-6 cups of trimmed cauliflower. (Keep in mind a little more or a little less won’t hurt this recipe, so don’t worry about being super precise.)
- Place cauliflower florets in a food processor. Press the pulse button just a few times until the cauliflower roughly resembles the appearance of rice (it doesn’t take long). Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and cornstarch. Set aside for now.
- Place frozen broccoli in the microwave and cook according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. If skillet tends to stick, give a quick shot of cooking spray. Add ground beef and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until beef is browned, breaking into crumbles with a wooden spatula as it cooks.
- When beef is browned, add the sauce mixture and the cauliflower rice. Stir together and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender and everything is well combined.
- Add in the broccoli and cook for another minute, stirring a few times. Remove from heat and top with green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- *You can use frozen cauliflower rice instead of fresh if you prefer. Cook 1-2 bags in the microwave according to package directions, then toss in the skillet at the end for a minute to combine.
- You can use fresh broccoli for this; I just find it easier and quicker to cook the frozen bag while the beef is browning. If you use fresh broccoli, you can cook it first until crisp-tender, then set it aside while the beef browns, then add it back in at the end.
- This is a very light meal; if you need more calories you can add cooked rice to this dish.
- If you want a lower sodium meal, use lower-sodium soy sauce in this recipe.
