1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, or a paleo alternative
1 tablespoon honey, or a low carb alternative
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or 1 tablespoon coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 lb. lean ground beef (85/15)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions
- In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, cornstarch and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as you cook, about 5 minutes.
