Description
A quick and delicious stir-fry featuring savory ground beef and tender cabbage, perfect for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Pour this mixture over the beef and cabbage, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a low-carb option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken and add more vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
- To add more flavor, consider incorporating a tablespoon of hoisin sauce or sriracha for a spicy kick.
