Description
A quick and delicious stir-fry featuring savory ground beef and fresh 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 black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced (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, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is wilted.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef and cabbage, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For added crunch, toss in a handful of chopped bell peppers or carrots during the cooking process.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, adjusting cooking times as necessary.
