Ingredients

3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon white granulated sugar or sweetener for low carb (optional)

1 tablespoon oil

1 small onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon minced ginger

1 pound lean ground beef

1 head cabbage (core removed, shredded), 8 cups shredded cabbage

1 large carrot, peeled and shredded

Pinch of salt (to taste)

Pinch of cracked pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the stir fry sauce (soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar). Set aside.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with the end of a wooden spoon as it cooks. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once the beef is browned, add the shredded cabbage and carrot to the skillet. Stir in half of the prepared stir fry sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still a little crisp.
  5. Season with salt and cracked pepper to taste. Add the remaining stir fry sauce, stir to combine, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Remove from heat and serve the Beef Cabbage Stir Fry immediately. You can enjoy it as is or serve it over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add chili flakes, hot sauce, or fresh chili peppers to the stir fry.
