Ingredients
- 1 lbs ground beef 92-96% lean
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- ½ red bell pepper
- 1 small white onion
- ½ cup diced carrots
- 8-10 talks fresh basil Holy Basil or Regular Italian Basil
For the sauce:
- ¼ cup Sweet chili sauce
- 1 lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Sriracha
For serving:
- white rice
- steamed broccoli
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables first. Finely slice the onion into rings and the bell pepper into long strips. Use a vegetable chopper to dice the carrots (note: you can also use pre shredded carrots if you wish). Julianne the basil so it’s in thin, long pieces.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, red pepper, and carrots to the skillet.
- While the beef cooks, make the Thai sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients: sweet chili sauce, juiced lime, soy sauce, honey and sriracha.
- Once the meat looks close to fully cooked, pour the sauce over the skillet. Fold together.
- Top the skillet with fresh basil and stir. Add desired amount of red pepper flakes and green onion for garnish.
- Serve over a bed of rice, in lettuce wraps, with steamed broccoli, or over udon noodles. Enjoy!
Notes
- Great for meal prep! I make it in a big batch and then store individual servings in airtight containers with rice and broccoli for 3-5 days.
