Method

  1. In a large frying pan, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, garlic, chilli, and celery and sauté for 30 seconds, then add the beef mince. Cook for 6 minutes over medium-high heat, breaking the meat apart with a spatula in the first couple of minutes. Then leave the beef to brown off and only stir once or twice.
  2. Combine Tamari, fish sauce, honey, sesame oil, tomato paste and lime juice in a bowl and whisk together. After 6-7 minutes, once the beef has started to brown slightly, add the sauces and snow peas to the beef and stir through for another minute or so. Finally, sprinkle in the sesame seeds and stir through.
  3. While the beef is cooking, heat the coconut oil or butter in another pot over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower rice and salt and stir through for 1-2 minutes, until slightly softened.
  4. Serve the beef over cauliflower rice, topped with some chopped spring onions.
