Description
A delicious low carb recipe featuring ground beef and cabbage, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage, soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For added crunch, toss in some chopped bell peppers or carrots along with the cabbage.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option while keeping the flavor profile intact.
