MONGOLIAN GROUND BEEF:

  • 1 tbsp. Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp. Ginger Puree
  • 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp. Hoisin Sauce

TO MAKE THE SPRING ROLLS IN A BOWL:

  • 5 oz. Green Leaf Lettuce
  • 1 cup Angel Hair Sliced Cabbage
  • 1 cup Matchstick Carrots
  • 1/2 English Cucumber, cut into thin strips
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 4 Green Onions, sliced
  • 1 Avocado, halved and sliced
  • Sesame Seeds, optional for garnish
  • Spicy Peanut Sauce, for serving

Instructions
 

  • SPICY PEANUT SAUCE: Add all ingredients to a mason jar (with a lid) and shake to combine. If needed, stir with a spoon to fully combine. Set aside.
  • MONGOLIAN BEEF: Add the sesame oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the ground beef until starting to brown, then add the garlic cloves, ginger puree, brown sugar, hoisin, and liquid aminos. Continue to sauté until fully cooked and the sauce has started to thicken. Taste, and season with salt and pepper to your own preferences. Turn off the burner but leave in the pan to stay warm while you prep the other ingredients. 
  • SPRING ROLL IN A BOWL: Add all ingredients for this to a large cutting board (except for the avocado, sesame seeds, and peanut sauce). Chop until all ingredients are in bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a serving platter and top with the Mongolian ground beef and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with avocado and spicy peanut sauce on the side. Enjoy immediately.
