Open Gym 6-8am & 5-7pm
___
I tend to eat more carbs as fuel on training days. Sweet potatoes and varieties of squash usually are my go to. But sometimes a little rice is a nice change of pace. This recipe came from John Welbourn of CrossFit Football. Our early (5:30am) and mid-day (3:30pm) strength training groups are currently following his Field Strong program. Tomorrow will be the second time I’ve made this recipe. I’m going to try not to eat it in one sitting 🙂
Thai-Coconut Ground Beef & Rice
Ingredients:
1 cup leaks (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
2 teaspoon minced garlic (in a glass container)
3 pound GF ground sirloin
2 teaspoon Thai Kitchen (red curry paste)
2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 cups hot cooked white rice (rice steamer)
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add coconut oil. Add leeks and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and let cook for 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until lightly browned. Stir in curry paste and tomato sauce; cook until half of liquid evaporates (about 2 minutes). Add milk, brown sugar, rind and lime juice and cook until slightly thickened. Once done, add the beef to a big bowl of white rice and mix together.
