Gingery Beef Fried Rice

While sifting through my copy of Mark Sisson’s, Primal Blueprint Quick & Easy Meals the other day, I stumbled across the pork fried cauliflower rice recipe. It inspired this delicious gingery beef fried rice.

I was fortunate to have some fresh, plump English peas that came in my weekly CSA box, which made a wonderful addition to the dish. The results? Well, let’s just say Jesse and I both made the clean plate club that evening, although we’re both pretty good at that anyway.

Enjoy!

Gingery Beef Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp ghee or coconut oil
• 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lb grass-fed ground beef
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
• 1/2 – 1 tsp sea salt
• Splash of apple cider vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
• 1 head cauliflower, grated/riced in a food processor
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup fresh English peas, removed from pod (or frozen)
• 4 scallions, roughly chopped
• 2 Tbsp coconut aminos, if not on SCD (if using, adjust sea salt to taste)

Directions:

1. Heat a wok or skillet over high heat and add ghee. Add onion and sauté until it starts to brown, about two minutes.
2. Add the meat and half the sea salt. Sauté a few minutes (or longer if raw meat needs more time) and then add the garlic, ginger, carrots and cauliflower. Sauté a few minutes more.
3. Add the eggs, remaining sea salt and vinegar (add coconut aminos here, if using and again, adjust sea salt to taste). Stir constantly as the egg cooks, then add peas and chopped scallions. Cook a couple minutes more.
