Ingredients
  

For the Beef and Sauce
  • 1 lb Lean Grass-Fed Ground Beef Ensures a rich source of protein and iron for muscle recovery.
  • 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Sweet Chili Sauce Adds that sweet and spicy flavor that’s essential for these bowls.
  • 2 tbsp Gluten-Free Tamari or Coconut Aminos A gluten-free alternative to soy sauce that complements the beef beautifully.
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar Provides a tang that balances out the sweetness, enhancing overall flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Gluten-Free Fish Sauce Introduces a savory umami kick; can be omitted if unavailable.
For the Veggies
  • 1 Red Onion Adds a touch of sweetness and depth; yellow onion can be substituted if needed.
  • 2 Fresh Vegetables (Cucumber, Red Cabbage, Carrots) Bring color and crunch; feel free to mix in seasonal choices for variety.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro or Thai Basil for Garnish Elevates the final dish with fresh herbal notes.
For Cooking
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil Great for sautéing with a high smoke point; olive oil works as an alternative.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Boosts flavor and adds anti-inflammatory benefits; swap for garlic powder if necessary.
  • 1/2 cup Toasted Cashews Provides delightful crunch and healthy fats; almonds or peanuts can be a tasty substitute.
For Serving
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice Brightens the dish with acidity; lemon juice is a suitable substitute if lime isn’t handy.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Gluten-Free Thai Sweet Chili Beef Bowls
  1. Begin by whisking together the stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl: gluten-free sweet chili sauce, tamari, apple cider vinegar, and fish sauce if using. Set this aside. In another bowl, prepare the drizzle sauce using lime juice and any remaining sweet chili sauce.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add your toasted cashews. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  3. In the same pan, pour in a tablespoon of avocado oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds. Add chopped garlic and red onion, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  4. Add the lean ground beef to the pan with the sautéed garlic and onion. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  5. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the browned beef and mix thoroughly. Simmer on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Prepare your serving bowls by layering cooked rice or cauliflower rice at the bottom. Spoon the sweet chili beef mixture on top, then add your fresh vegetables.
  7. Drizzle the prepared sauce over each bowl and finish with fresh herbs for a fragrant touch. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
