Tempting ground beef dishes are found in the cuisine of all
countries.
Take a look at the Easiest Barbecue Beef recipe. Switch a few ingredients and the dish hops
from the United States
to China.
10-inch skillet and lid
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped sweet onion
¼ cup soy sauce
I use organic San-J
tamari sauce
¼ cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon peeled chopped fresh ginger
1 cup frozen organic peas
1.
Heat the oil over medium heat
until oil is hot. Sauté the chopped onion for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently
2.
Add the ground beef. Don’t throw in the entire pound; instead pull
off small chunks and add them to the pan. Use low heat and stir with a wooden
spoon to get the red out of the meat. Recipes usually say, “brown the meat” but
what one wants to do is get the red out. Add the soy sauce, ginger and sherry.
Stir. Cover the skillet and simmer 15 minutes.
3.
Stir in the peas, just before
serving time. re-cover skillet and simmer 10-15 minutes, or until peas are
tender but crisp and beef is steaming hot.
4 servings. I note in The Diet Book the dish
has 9 grams of carbohydrate and 53 calories per portion.
My recommended diet dinner was cucumber salad and
baked custard for dessert.
