Preparation

  1. Prep: Chop cilantro; chop basil (about 1 cup, divided). Squeeze lime for juice (2 tablespoons). Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes.

While meat cooks, combine lime juice, sugar, salt, garlic, red pepper, clam juice, and soy sauce. Drain meat; then return meat to pan.
  2. Add lime juice mixture to beef; cook and stir 2 minutes or until liquid is reduced by about one-half and mixture thickens.
  3. Remove pan from heat; stir in 1/2 cup basil. Prepare rice following package instructions for microwave.
  4. Combine remaining 1/2 cup basil, cilantro, carrots, and green onions. Add dressing to carrot mixture; toss until evenly coated. Serve beef mixture over rice; top with carrot mixture. Serve.
