Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 cups shredded Brussels sprouts (about 12 oz)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or olive oil)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sriracha (optional, for heat)

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (or low sodium tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh minced garlic)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef and green onions: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and crumble it as it cooks. Stir in the sliced green onions, garlic powder, sriracha if using, salt, and pepper. Pour in the soy sauce and continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and browned. Remove the beef mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  2. Sauté the Brussels sprouts: Add a tablespoon of oil to the empty skillet. Toss in the shredded Brussels sprouts, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Combine beef and sprouts with sauce: Return the cooked ground beef and green onions to the skillet with the Brussels sprouts. Add the sweet chili sauce and squeeze the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Serve: Transfer the mixture to plates or bowls and garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately, optionally over rice, quinoa, rice noodles, or cauliflower rice.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) to prevent excess grease.
  • Substitute low sodium tamari for soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
  • Sriracha is optional, add according to your spice tolerance.
  • You may substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, bison, or venison.
  • Shredded Brussels sprouts cook faster; halved sprouts can be used but require longer cooking.
  • Freeze leftovers at your own discretion; texture of Brussels sprouts may change.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, or noodles depending on your preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored up to 4 days refrigerated and reheated in microwave or skillet.
