Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
Vegetables:
- ½ large head green cabbage, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 green onions, chopped
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or tamari/soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until it shimmers.
- Cook the Beef: Add ground beef and minced ginger to the skillet. Break up the beef using a spatula and cook for about 5 minutes, or until browned.
- Add the Seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, ground black pepper, and coconut sugar over the beef. Stir to coat the meat evenly and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the Vegetables: Toss in the cabbage, bell pepper, carrots, and green onions. Gently mix to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly but still have a bit of crunch.
- Add Coconut Aminos: Pour the coconut aminos over the mixture, stir to combine, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Finish with Vinegar: Drizzle apple cider vinegar into the skillet. Turn off the heat and give the mixture a final stir to incorporate the tangy flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer to a serving dish or serve directly from the skillet. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish and enjoy!
