Garlic Ginger Beef Bowl with Cauliflower "Fried" Rice

This Garlic Ginger Beef Bowl with Cauliflower “Fried” Rice has become a weekly staple in my house. It’s delicious, filling, and ready in under 20 minutes.

PRO TIPS:

• Order your organic spices and oils from vitacost.com – you’ll save 25-50% off health food store prices.
• You can find pre-chopped cauliflower rice at most health food stores – and even some mainstream ones. Look for it in the refrigerator of the produce section or the freezer. Conversely, you can make your own by putting small chunks of cauliflower in the blender and blending until rice like pieces are formed.

Cauliflower Fried Rice

• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3/4 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder (omit for AIP)
• 2 cloves garlic chopped small
• 1 green onion / scallion sliced thin
• 1 inch fresh ginger peeled, chopped small
• 2 tsp jalapeno minced
• 1 1/2 cups carrot peeled and diced small
• 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets chopped small
• 16 oz cauliflower rice fresh or frozen
• 1/4 tsp unrefined salt (real, pink, or Celtic salt) or to taste
• 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste

Instructions

• Heat two separate medium sized pans over medium heat. One will be for rice, the other the beef.
• To both, add the oil, then turmeric, cumin, garlic, scallion, ginger, and jalapeno. Let them cook for a minute or two, until fragrant.
• To the rice pan, add the broccoli and cauliflower, and cook a minute or two before adding the cauliflower rice. Put a lid on it, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To the beef pan, add the beef. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into large pieces so it evenly covers the pan, then leave it alone for 4-5 minutes so it can brown. Then, use the spoon to break everything up and mix it around so the other side of the meat is in contact with the pan. Leave it alone for a minute to brown. Check that it is thoroughly cooked throughout. If not, give it a stir and leave again for another minute or two as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To make the bowl, simply plate the cauliflower rice first, then add a serving of beef on top or on the side.

Recipe Notes

You can swap in frozen peas and carrots for the carrots and broccoli to reduce chopping time.
