Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat the Skillet
- Start by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Ground Beef
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully browned.
- Remove excess fat if needed to avoid a greasy stir-fry.
3. Sauté the Aromatics
- Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes fragrant. This step creates a flavorful base for the dish.
4. Add the Vegetables
- Toss in the sliced bell peppers and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp, maintaining their vibrant colors and crunch.
5. Season and Stir-Fry
- Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
6. Garnish and Serve
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions for a burst of freshness and mild onion flavor.
- Serve hot, paired with steamed rice, noodles, or as a standalone low-carb meal.
