Description

A delicious and easy low-carb dish featuring ground beef and cabbage, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion and garlic to the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and soft.
  3. Stir in the shredded cabbage and sauté until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook another 2-3 minutes until cabbage is tender.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a lower sodium option, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • The red pepper flakes can be adjusted based on heat preference.
