This has quickly become one of my favorite go-to weeknight meals - fast, flavorful and fun - an updated ground beef classic!
1 lb. lean ground beef, browned nicely and
fats drained
1/4 cup plum sauce
1/4-1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
4 scallions, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1-2 Tbs. nicely chopped cilantro
1 lb. coleslaw mix
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2-3 Tbs. canola or vegetable oil
chopped peanuts, for garnish
Add plum sauce and red pepper flakes to
warm beef in skillet; stir to combine. Toss in scallions, carrots and
cilantro and cook until all ingredients are just heated through.
Meanwhile, whisk together rice vinegar and oil to create dressing; pour over
coleslaw mix and toss to combine well. To serve, place dressed coleslaw
in bowls and top with warm beet mixture. Garnish with peanuts, if desired, for
added crunch. Enjoy at once.
Serves 1 hungry Chef Alli (and I ALWAYS
am!) or 2-3 average appetites.
