If roasting the sweet potato, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roast for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, till browned on all sides.
Start by preparing the quinoa (or brown rice), bring quinoa and 2 cups of broth and 2 cups of water to a boil, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and it's fluffy. Season with salt and pepper to taste
In a large pan, add ground beef and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until cooked through - about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add sesame oil, garlic, and coconut aminos and bring to a simmer. Stir in broccoli and carrots, mixing often. Cook until softened about 5-6 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile heat a small pot over high heat until boiling. Carefully lower in eggs with a spoon and boil for 6 ½ minutes. Remove and dunk into an ice bath or under cold water. Carefully peel the egg, making sure to not puncture the yolk.
Spoon quinoa into a bowl and top with the ground beef, vegetables, and sauce. Cut egg in half and top with green onion. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.

This recipe makes 6 very large portions. Enough for a filling lunch or dinner.
I like to use 80/15 ground beef for this recipe, but choose whatever you prefer.
If in a hurry, skip the sweet potatoes for a quick 30 minute meal.
Salt balances the sweetness of the coconut aminos, so if you think it's too sweet, add more salt or some acidity, like vinegar.
