INSTRUCTIONS

In a large wok, heat ONE tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice. With black pepper and sea salt, season, if desired. Until it gets cooked through, saute for 3-5 minutes.
From heat, remove the cauliflower rice, put it aside, and to keep warm, cover.
Whisk together the red pepper flakes, beef broth, sesame oil, ground ginger, and coconut aminos in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.

To medium-high, turn heat back. To the wok, add another tablespoon olive oil. Put ground beef and with sea salt, season. Breaking up with a spatula and stirring occasionally, cook for about 8-10 minutes, until it gets browned.
In the beef and add the minced garlic, make a well. Until it gets fragrant, saute for about a minute, then mix into the beef.
Over the beef, pour the sauce. Reduce heat after bringing to a simmer, and for 3-4 minutes, simmer, until the sauce is thickened and reduced. There won’t be much liquid left.
