Description
Learn how to make delicious ground beef cabbage stir fry. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to bring this comforting dish to life:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and if you prefer a vegetarian version, crumbled tofu works wonderfully as well.
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Add the ground beef and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan for added flavor.
- In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sliced cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften, around 5 minutes.
- Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and chili flakes.
- Mix everything well and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve your stir fry over cooked rice or noodles, and watch it disappear faster than you can say “dinner is ready!”
