Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, erythritol, and rice vinegar. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. While the beef is cooking, prepare the cucumber salad. In a bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, green onions, and sesame seeds. Toss gently to mix.
  4. Serve the spicy beef over a bed of cucumber salad. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
