Description

This Ground Beef and Brussels Sprouts recipe is a quick and flavorful stir-fry dish perfect for a weeknight dinner. Lean ground beef is cooked with aromatic green onions and seasoned with garlic, soy sauce, and optional sriracha for a mild kick. Shredded Brussels sprouts are sautéed until caramelized, then combined with the beef and a tangy sweet chili-lime sauce. Garnished with sesame seeds, this dish pairs wonderfully with rice or your favorite grain for a satisfying, balanced meal.

Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)

Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 pound shredded Brussels sprouts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Sauce and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to a large skillet and crumble it as it cooks. Mix in the green onions, then season with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, sriracha (if using), and soy sauce. Cook until the beef is fully browned and cooked through. Remove the beef mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  2. Sauté the Brussels Sprouts: In the same skillet, add a tablespoon of avocado oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they become soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the Brussels sprouts. Pour in the sweet chili sauce and the juice from half a lime. Stir well to coat the beef and Brussels sprouts evenly with the sauce, heating through for another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the mixture to serving plates and sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired. This dish is delicious served over rice or your preferred grain.

Notes

  • To increase spice, add more sriracha or fresh chili flakes.
  • Use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts for convenience to save prep time.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed jasmine or brown rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
