Season the ground beef with from coconut aminos to olive oil. Mix well and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
In a well-heated skillet, add 2 tbsp cooking fat and saute the marinated beef over medium-high heat until the beef is cooked through. Break the meat into finer crumbles, if using ground beef, about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer the sauce for another 2-3 mins. Taste test and make seasoning adjustments - more apple juice will make the dish taste sweeter, more salt, coconut aminos, or onion powder will make the dish more savory. Off heat, let the beef cool in the pan juice. The meat will soak up more flavor.
Divide beef to individual serving bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with butternut squash, eggs, and mixed greens. Drizzle the ground beef juice from the skillet over before serving.
Notes
If no red meat, you can also use ground chicken or turkey, too.If using a whole piece of steak, put it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before thin slice it.In the pictures above, I use shaved steak from Trader Joe’s.
