SPICY GROUND BEEF AND CAULIFLOWER RICE

This Spicy Ground Beef and Cauliflower Rice is a delicious, protein-rich dish that’s perfect for those following a low-carb, keto or Whole30 diet. It is packed with lean ground beef, aromatic spices and cauliflower rice. This meal is an excellent alternative to traditional rice-based dishes. The combination of paprika, cumin and chilli flakes gives it a deep, smoky and slightly spicy kick, making it an exciting and flavourful option for any time of the day. Not only is this meal incredibly easy to prepare, but it also provides an outstanding balance of macronutrients. With high protein, healthy fats and fibre from the cauliflower, it supports satiety and energy levels while keeping carbs minimal. Ideal for meal prep or a quick weeknight dinner, this one-pan dish is both convenient and nutritious. Pair it with avocado slices, fresh herbs or a drizzle of tahini for extra richness.

PREPARATION

These steps are followed for the preparation of Spicy Ground Beef and Cauliflower Rice:

  • Prepare the cauliflower rice: If using fresh cauliflower, pulse florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
  • Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over a medium flame.
  • Cook the beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned.
  • Season the meat: Stir in paprika, cumin, chilli flakes, garlic and salt. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
  • Add cauliflower rice: Toss in the cauliflower rice and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavours.

TIPS

  • More flavour: Add a splash of coconut aminos or soy sauce for an umami boost.
  • Extra spice: Increase chilli flakes or add fresh diced jalapeños for more heat.
  • Better texture: Sauté the cauliflower rice separately before mixing it with the beef for a firmer texture.
  • Protein variation: Swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken or bison for different protein sources.
  • Meal prep friendly: Make a large batch and store portions for quick meals throughout the week.

VARIATIONS

  • Mexican-Inspired: Add diced tomatoes, black beans and a squeeze of lime for a Tex-Mex twist.
  • Mediterranean Style: Stir in chopped olives, feta cheese and a drizzle of tzatziki for a Greek-inspired dish.
  • Asian-Inspired: Replace paprika with ginger and add coconut aminos and sesame seeds for an Asian-style stir-fry.
  • High-Fibre Boost: Mix in sautéed spinach, mushrooms or zucchini to increase the fibre content.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze in meal-sized portions for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
  • Reheating: Warm on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, adding a splash of water if necessary.
