Thai Basil Beef

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lbs ground beef

  92-96% lean
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• ½ red bell pepper
• 1 small white onion
• ½ cup diced carrots
• 8-10 stalks fresh basil

  Holy Basil or Regular Italian Basil
• ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
• 1 lime

  juice
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp sriracha
• white rice
• steamed broccoli

Instructions

• 1 Prep the vegetables first. Finely slice the onion into rings and the bell pepper
  into long strips. Use a vegetable chopper to dice the carrots (note: you can
  also use pre shredded carrots if you wish). Julianne the basil so it’s in thin,
  long pieces.
• 2 Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, red pepper, and carrots
  to the skillet.
• 3 While the beef cooks, make the Thai sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk
  together all of the ingredients: sweet chili sauce, juiced lime, soy sauce,
  honey and sriracha.
• 4 Once the meat looks close to fully cooked, pour the sauce over the skillet. Fold
  together.
• 5 Top the skillet with fresh basil and stir. Add desired amount of red pepper
  flakes and green onion for garnish.
• 6 Serve over a bed of rice, in lettuce wraps, with steamed broccoli, or over udon
  noodles. Enjoy!
