Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10)
  • 6 cups Green cabbage, shredded Or 1 bag (14-16 oz) coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup Carrots, shredded Omit if using coleslaw mix
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil Divided
  • 1/2 medium Yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce Or Tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha Optional, adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced For garnish
  • 1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds For garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the sesame oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking the beef apart with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and onions are translucent.
  • Drain excess grease if necessary. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce, rice vinegar, remaining sesame oil, and sriracha over the vegetables.
  • Toss everything together and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes. The cabbage should be wilted but still retain a slight crunch (tender-crisp). Do not overcook.
  • Remove from heat immediately. Taste and add salt or extra sriracha if needed.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice or as is for a low-carb meal.
