# Instructions:
01 -
Mix your cucumber slices and red onion strips in a bowl. Add the apple cider vinegar, sweetener, salt and pepper. Toss everything together until cucumbers are coated nicely. Let this sit while you make the beef.
02 -
Heat up a big skillet to medium-high. Throw in your ground beef and break it up as it cooks. Keep cooking until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. If there's too much fat, drain some off.
03 -
Turn down the heat to medium. Toss in the chopped garlic and sesame oil, cooking for a minute or two until you can smell the garlic. Then mix in the soy sauce, sweetener, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ginger powder. Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
04 -
Take the pan off the heat. Mix in half the chopped green onions and half the sesame seeds into the beef.
05 -
Scoop the beef onto plates and sprinkle the rest of the green onions and sesame seeds on top. Put some cucumber salad on the side and add extra sesame seeds on the salad if you'd like.
