For the beef

For the bowls

  • 2 cups cooked white rice I used microwaveable rice
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions diced
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • Sesame seeds for topping
  • Cilantro leaves for topping

Instructions

  • Add the beef broth, garlic, 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, sriracha, honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and ginger to the crockpot. Whisk to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for up to 12 hours. The longer it cooks, the more flavor it has.

  • About 20 minutes before serving, stir the coconut milk into the broth, cover, and turn the crockpot to HIGH for 20 minutes.

  • While the broth finishes, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it into large pieces. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the sea salt, add the 2 tablespoon coconut aminos, and break the beef into smaller pieces as you mix in the sauce. Cook undisturbed for 2- 3 more minutes, until the beef is crispy and no pink remains. Remove from the heat.

  • Cook the rice according to the package directions.
    2 cups cooked white rice
  • Add ½ cup rice and a serving of beef to each bowl, then ladle the hot broth over the top. Finish with cucumber, green onions, sesame seeds, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Coconut milk: add it at the end. If you have to add it in the morning, whisk well before serving and if it's split it will come back together.
Eating at different times: leave the broth in the crockpot and whisk before each bowl. Refrigerate the beef and rice if they'll be out longer than 2 hours.
Gluten-free: use coconut aminos or tamari instead of soy sauce, and check the labels on your broth and sriracha.n.
