Description
A quick and flavorful weeknight meal featuring savory ground beef, crisp cabbage, and a rich, glossy Asian-inspired sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)
- 1/2 head green cabbage, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp black or white pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced (divided)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prep all ingredients before starting. Slice cabbage, mince garlic and ginger, and mix sauces in a bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned and slightly crispy. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Push beef to one side. Add garlic and ginger to the other side and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add cabbage and half the green onions. Stir-fry until cabbage softens slightly but retains some crunch.
- Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and pepper. Stir to coat evenly and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss. Remove from heat.
- Garnish with remaining green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- Try serving over jasmine rice, cauliflower rice, or tucked into lettuce wraps.
- Add chili flakes or garlic chili sauce for heat.
- Substitute ground pork, turkey, or plant-based protein as needed.
