Ingredients
Meat
- 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
Vegetables
- ½ medium onion, finely diced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
- 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Seasonings & Oils
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 Tbsp chopped green onion
- ¼ tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add onions and carrots: Stir in the diced onion and grated carrot. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Add garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to release its aroma without burning.
- Cook the cabbage and seasonings: Add the thinly sliced cabbage, ground ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Continue sautéing for 5–7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for freshness and extra flavor. Serve warm immediately.

- For a leaner version, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
- You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for variety.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste, especially if you prefer lower sodium.
- Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
