Ingredients
- White Rice
- 1 Onion
- 1 Lime
- 3 Garlic Clove
- 1 Cucumber
- 3 oz Carrots
- 1 lb Ground grass-fed Beef
- 2 oz Coconut Amino Sauce
Tip: Try wild rice instead. It's nutty and chewy, and it's the rice we reach for first.
Why wild rice?
- It isn't really rice. It's the seed of a water grass, so it stays firm instead of going mushy in bowls, salads and soups.
- A cooked cup has about a quarter fewer calories than brown rice, and a little more protein.
- Lab studies found it has far more antioxidant activity than white rice.
- Like all rice, it's naturally gluten-free.
- It takes 45 to 55 minutes to cook and costs a little more. Mixing it half and half with brown rice works well.
Instructions
- Add'l ingredients: mayonnaise, siracha
- Place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse until water runs clear. Add to a small pot with 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15 minutes. Keep covered off heat for at least 10 minutes or until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Peel and finely chop garlic. Zest and quarter lime (for 4 servings, zest 1 lime and quarter both). Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons. Halve, peel, and medium dice onion. Trim, peel, and grate carrot.
- In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, juice from half the lime, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, a pinch of garlic, a squeeze of lime juice, and as much sriracha as you’d like. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add beef, remaining garlic, and 2 tsp sugar (4 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until beef is browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Stir in coconut amino sauce. Turn off heat; taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and 1 TBSP butter. Divide rice between bowls. Arrange beef, grated carrot, and pickled cucumber on top. Top with a squeeze of lime juice. Drizzle with sriracha mayo.
