A quick and satisfying low-carb dish featuring ground beef and crunchy cabbage, infused with Mongolian flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Browning the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add your ground beef and let it brown until fully cooked. Make sure to break it apart as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess fat from the pan.
  2. Adding aromatics: Toss the finely diced onion and minced garlic into the skillet with the browned beef. Stir occasionally for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes fragrant and soft.
  3. Sautéing the cabbage: Toss the shredded cabbage into the skillet with the beef and onion mixture. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
  4. Flavor infusion: Drizzle in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Stir together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Final touches: To serve, top with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

For a spicier dish, adjust the red pepper flakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
