A quick and healthy Chinese-inspired stir fry featuring lean ground beef and cabbage. This dish is packed with flavor and comes together in minutes!

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 cups packed shredded cabbage
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions 

  • Heat that pan right:
  • Get your largest skillet or wok screaming hot over medium-high heat with the olive oil.
  • Brown the beef: Add your ground beef and break it into small crumbles. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until no pink remains.
  • Aromatic magic: Push the beef to one side, add garlic and ginger to the empty space. Stir for just 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Cabbage time: Toss in all that shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. You want it slightly softened but still with some crunch.
  • Flavor finish: Drizzle in soy sauce and sesame oil, sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything together.
  • Final touch: Give it one last minute of cooking to let the flavors marry, then taste and adjust salt/pepper. Done!

Notes

For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil.
