Description
A delicious and healthy stir fry featuring ground beef and cabbage, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ small onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- Sesame seeds
- Extra sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, beef broth, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4–6 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still has a little crunch.
- Add the sauce: Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables. Toss well and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
- Build the stack: Spoon a layer of cooked rice onto each plate. Add a generous layer of the beef-and-cabbage mixture, then another small layer of rice and beef if you want a taller stack.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas.
