Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 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

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish light and reduce grease.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and the mixture becomes fragrant.
  3. Cook the Cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage and continue sautéing until it slightly wilts, about 5 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
  4. Add Seasonings: Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is tender and everything is well combined.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot for a delicious low-carb meal.

Notes

  • Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a lower sodium option.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional; adjust based on your spice tolerance.
  • Shredding the cabbage finely helps it cook faster and blend well with the beef.
  • This dish can be served on its own or alongside cauliflower rice for extra volume.
  • Make sure to drain the beef well to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
