Savory Korean-inspired ground beef is glazed in a sweet, spicy sesame sauce and tossed with tender zucchini noodles for a satisfying keto-friendly meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs fresh zucchini (spiralized)
  • 1 medium green onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp ginger (freshly grated)
  • 1 1/3 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
  • 3 tbsp Swerve Brown sweetener
  • 2 tbsp allulose (or preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sriracha (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and give them a few quick chops. Place in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let drain for 1 hour. Pat dry between clean kitchen towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, Swerve Brown, allulose, sesame oil, sriracha, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and add the green onions. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and glaze the beef.
  5. Add the zucchini noodles and toss with the beef for 2 to 3 minutes, just until warmed through. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

Notes

  • Sriracha is optional and can be adjusted to your preferred spice level.
  • Allulose can be replaced with another preferred keto-friendly sweetener.
  • Drain and thoroughly dry the zucchini noodles to help prevent excess liquid in the finished dish.
  • Avoid overcooking the zucchini noodles so they remain tender without becoming too soft.
