Description

A delicious low-carb dish featuring ground beef and cabbage, perfect for a healthy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to combine.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For added crunch, toss in some chopped bell peppers or carrots during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • To make it spicier, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a splash of sriracha sauce before serving.
