Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Ground Beef and Brussels Sprouts
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 pound of lean ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s nicely browned and no longer pink. Season with garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir in chopped green onions and 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, cooking for an additional minute for flavor absorption. Remove the beef mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and heat over medium heat. Add the pre-shredded Brussels sprouts, stirring well to coat them in the oil. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to soften and caramelize, and look for a vibrant green color with slight browning on the edges.
  3. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed Brussels sprouts. Drizzle in ¼ cup of sweet chili sauce and the juice of half a lime, stirring well to coat all ingredients. Continue to heat the mixture on medium, allowing it to combine for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Once fully combined, remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for a minute. Spoon the colorful Ground Beef and Brussels Sprouts mixture onto serving plates. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra crunch and a touch of elegance.
