Spicy Orange Sesame Ground Beef
Ingredients
- Ground Beef, 2 lb (lean)
- Onions, 2, fine dice
- Garlic Cloves, 15, thinly sliced
- Ginger, 1”, grated
- Black pepper, 1/2 tbsp
- Salt, 2-3 tsp
- Red Chili Flakes, 1 tsp
- Chili Oil or Veg Oil, 2 tbsp
- Orange, 1 zested and juiced
- Rice Wine/Mirin, 1/4 cup
- Oyster Sauce, 3-4 tbsp
- Green Onions/Scallions, 2 cups, diced
- Coconut or Brown Sugar, 2 tbsp
- Sesame Seeds, 1 tbsp

Instructions
Mix the beef.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly the ground beef with the onions, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Heat the oil.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil on medium high heat. Once hot, add the red chili flakes to season the oil.
Cook the beef.
- Add in the ground beef and keep it moving in the pan on high heat so that it nicely browns the beef. Drain any excess fat as needed. (Keeping a little fat is good for flavor). Now add the remaining ingredients and continue to cook on high heat and frequently mixing until the moisture/liquids evaporates and coats the beef.
Garnish and serve.
- Garnish with crushed peanuts and fresh lime juice. Serve with cauliflower rice, salad green, make tacos - it's extremely versatile.
