Ingredients:
1 lb. organic grass-fed ground beef
2 tbsp. peanut or grapeseed oil, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ginger powder

1/2 bunch kale, stemmed and chopped
1 tsp. dark sesame oil
1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
1 can organic coconut milk
1 c. black rice

Directions:
Heat 1 tbsp. oil in wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking up as it cooks. When meat is browned, remove from wok and drain. Add remaining tbsp. oil to wok and add carrots, cook for 2 minutes. Add remaining vegetables and cook until tender. Add spices and stir. Add meat back to the wok and combine with veggies and spices. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve over coconut rice. For coconut rice: cook rice as directed replacing water with coconut milk.
