In this dish, the key ingredients shine through. The star is ground beef, which adds rich flavor. I prefer using 85% lean ground beef for a good balance of taste and health. It provides protein and keeps you full longer.

Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (85% lean)

4 cups green cabbage, shredded

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions
 

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to warm for 30 seconds.

    Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Push the beef to one side of the skillet. In the other half, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

        Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

          Stir in the shredded cabbage. Combine with the beef and onions, then add soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix everything together thoroughly.

            Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crunchy.

              Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
