Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry
Ground beef and cabbage stir fry made with a savory sauce and served over rice. This easy, high-protein one-pan dinner is perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
For the Stir Fry Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce ( or gluten free tamari)
- ¼ cup beef broth ( or water)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or Gluten-Free Oyster Sauce)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (or Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce)
- 1 teaspoon mushroom soy sauce (or dark soy sauce, use more GF hoisin for GF)
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
For the Stir Fry:
- 1 pound lean ground beef (such as sirloin or bison)
- 2 teaspoons ginger (fresh grated )
- 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 6 cups napa cabbage (sliced )
- 1 ½ cups shredded carrot
- Rice (optional for serving)
- scallion greens for garnish
Instructions
- To make the sauce, add all of the ingredients to a measuring cup and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and spray with oil. Add the ground beef and use a wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and cooked through. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds more, until fragrant. Transfer the beef to a plate.
- Use a paper towel to wipe the pan clean then return it to the stove.
- Add the sesame oil to the hot skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the carrot and cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Add the sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 30 to 40 seconds, until the sauce is coating the meat well. Remove from heat.
- Serve over rice and garnish with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
** I used pre shredded carrots from the grocery store. I like that they’re a little thicker than grating so they add a nice crunch
