Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean)
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 2 package ready-to-heat basmati rice (8.5 oz pouches)

Instructions

1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and grated fresh ginger, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it browns, cooking for 5 to 6 minutes until no pink remains and the meat registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
2. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the water and add the frozen green peas. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes until the peas are tender and heated through.
4. Heat the packages of ready-to-heat basmati rice in the microwave according to package directions, about 90 seconds each. Serve the spiced beef and peas alongside the warm basmati rice.

Notes

Leftovers reheat easily in the microwave; store the spiced beef and rice in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
