Homemade Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry
A savory, nutrient-dense stir-fry that combines perfectly browned ground beef with crisp cabbage and a classic ginger-garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ½ head green cabbage thinly sliced (about 5-6 cups)
- 1 large carrot thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 3 green onions sliced (whites and greens separated)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until the cabbage has wilted but still has a slight crunch.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Pour over the beef and cabbage mixture.
- Toss everything together for another minute to coat evenly.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the toasted sesame oil, black pepper, and the green parts of the sliced onions.
- Serve immediately, optionally topped with sesame seeds.
