Beef and Cabbage Ingredients

  • 1 pound grass-fed ground beef like Moink
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tablespoons freshly minced ginger
  • 1 head green cabbage about 10-12 cups shredded
  • 2 Tablespoons tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 2 cups water

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with a little salt, and brown on all sides, stirring to break up the meat.
  • Chop up an onion into medium dice. Once beef is mostly browned, add the diced onions and sauté about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds, then add the cabbage, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir fry until cabbage is wilted and soft.
  • Remove from heat. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped green onion for serving.
  • Enjoy as is or with brown rice.
  • For brown rice: prepare in rice cooker if available, or follow package instructions. Add 1 cup uncooked brown rice to a large pot with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook about 40 minutes. Remove from heat (without removing lid!), and set aside to steam for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Notes

Have ingredients you want to use up? Add mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, bean sprouts and cook with the cabbage. Need to save time? Swap out the whole cabbage for a couple of bags of coleslaw mix to skip the chopping. Prep all your ingredients in advance and have them ready close to your cooking area.
