Description
A flavorful, quick Asian-inspired stir‑fry featuring savory ground beef, crisp cabbage, and a rich umami sauce—it’s a wholesome meal that’s fast, hearty, and perfect over rice or noodles.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
¼ cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp oyster sauce
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp black pepper
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper to prepare the sauce.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high. Add ground beef and cook 5–7 minutes, breaking it up until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add sliced cabbage and stir‑fry 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Pour the sauce over the beef and cabbage; stir continually for another 2–3 minutes so flavors meld and sauce lightly coats everything.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey, pork, or chicken for beef.
- Add chili flakes or paste if you prefer heat.
- Serve with cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.
- Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free alternative.
