Made with simple ingredients and a lightly sweet, savory sauce, this one-pan meal is perfect for busy weeknights or easy meal prep. It’s naturally high in protein, loaded with fiber-rich veggies, and easy to keep lower carb depending on how you serve it.
Build your bowl your way—serve it over brown rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, or even shredded lettuce. And don’t forget the toppings or extra red pepper flakes for some added kick—this is where it gets really good.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb lean ground beef (93%+) (or turkey/chicken)
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), as needed
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tbsp)
5 tbsp coconut aminos, divided
1 onion, chopped
1½ cups green onions, chopped, divided
1 package (8 oz) cabbage slaw
1 package (about 10 oz) power slaw (or extra cabbage mix or broccoli slaw mix)
½ cup shredded carrots
Sauce:
2 tbsp coconut aminos (divided)
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp raw honey
2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced or grated
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
Optional toppings:
Sesame seeds
Crushed peanuts
Extra green onions
Thai peanut sauce or hot honey
DIRECTIONS
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of EVOO. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, for about 5–6 minutes.
When the beef is about halfway cooked, add the onion, cabbage slaw, power slaw, carrots, half of the green onions, and 3 tbsp coconut aminos. Stir well and continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and the veggies begin to soften.
Adding the power slaw to the meat While the meat and veggies continue to cook together, make the sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and mix everything together until well combined. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors come together.
Taste and adjust (add more coconut aminos or red pepper flakes if desired). Top with remaining green onions and any additional toppings, or homemade sriracha sauce (see recipe below).
Hippy Creamy Sriracha Sauce
¾ cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
¼ cup avocado mayo
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (juice of about 2 limes)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp sriracha sauce
Directions
Add all ingredients to a small bowl.
Mix until smooth and well combined.
Taste and adjust spice or lime as needed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld (optional, but recommended).
This creamy sriracha lime sauce is the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and just a little zesty. Made with simple, better-for-you ingredients and a lighter twist, it’s great as a drizzle for bowls, tacos, wraps, or as a dipping sauce for veggies, chicken, or fries.

Over brown rice noodles
