Healthy Chinese Ground Beef & Cabbage Stir Fry

Ingredients:

– 1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)
– 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
– 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce (ensure it’s a gluten-free variety if needed)
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
– 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
– Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions:


1. **Prepare the Ingredients:**
– Gather all your ingredients and chop the cabbage, onion, and green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

2. **Cook the Ground Beef:**
– In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

3. **Add Aromatics:**
– Once the beef is browned, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.

4. **Incorporate Cabbage:**
– Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

5. **Season the Stir Fry:**
– Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6. **Garnish and Serve:**
– Remove the stir fry from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.
