Ingredients

  • 2 ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil divided
  • 1 ¼ pound Ground Bison*
  • 1 cup (272g) Teriyaki Sauce*
  • 2 bags (12oz each) Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry*

Optional Yum Yum Sauce

  • ¼ cup (60g) Mayo
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon (23g) Sriracha
  • 1 Tablespoon (21g) Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon (15g) Rice Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground bison. Brown one side for 3-4 minutes before flipping and browning the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Once both sides have developed a nice crust, break the bison apart and fully cook.
  • Add the teriyaki sauce to the cooked bison. Stir together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and a spatula leaves a trail when dragged across the pan. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • To the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the cauliflower rice. Stir everything together and cook for 6-8 minutes until the rice is cooked to your liking.
  • Turn off the heat and add the bison back to the skillet. Garnish with the yum yum sauce, toasted sesame seeds, and thinly sliced scallions.

Notes

*I used Great Range 90/10 ground bison, Tattooed Chef's rice cauliflower stir fry, and Kinder's teriyaki sauce from Costco. I also like Kevin's for a lower sugar option. This recipe would also work great with homemade sauce options like my firecracker and black pepper beef.
If you have picky eaters, you can mask some of the cauliflower-ness by using one bag of riced cauliflower and 2-3 cups of cooked and chilled jasmine or basmati rice.
You can also use leftover rice on its own and omit the cauliflower rice entirely.

Nutrition Facts Notes

Serving sizes and nutrition info are for the rice and bison without yum yum sauce.
Using 96/4 ground beef takes each serving to 340 calories, 25g protein, 25g carbs, and 14g fat.
You can further reduce the fat by serving the teriyaki ground bison with steamed rice instead of fried rice or using my low fat yum yum sauce.
