Hello there! Here’s a Fresh meal that’s definitely worth trying out. And it’s easy-peazy.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3/4 lb (12oz) fresh green beans
  • 1 lime
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 c. jasmine rice (you gotta cook that yourself)
  • 4 Tbsp sweet Thai chili sauce
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp mirin
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp powdered ginger
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • cilantro (garnish)
  • crispy fried onion (garnish)

Directions

  1. Place a large skilled on medium-high heat and press the beef down into a flat even layer and don’t touch it until the bottom side starts to brown.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the Thai chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, vinegary, mirin, cornstarch, garlic & ginger powders, and sesame oil. Use your tiny whisk to whisk until thoroughly whisked.
  3. Wash the green beans and cut them to roughly 2″ long pieces. Place in a microwave safe bowl with a splash of water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave the beans for about 3 minutes.
  4. Break up the meat into pieces and cook until the beef is cooked through.
  5. Add the steamed green beans, butter, and the sauce mixture to the skilled. Mix and cook for 1-2 minutes until the beef is thoroughly coated.
