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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to release its aroma without burning.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
