Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef 85/15 fat ratio for optimal flavor
1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
½ teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
½ onion finely diced (for sweetness and crunch)
1 carrot julienned or coarsely grated (adds texture and sweetness)
3 garlic cloves minced (for aromatic flavor)
3 cups cabbage thinly sliced (provides crunch and freshness)
1 teaspoon ground ginger adds warmth and depth
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce for umami and saltiness
2 teaspoon sesame oil for a rich, nutty flavor
½ teaspoon granulated sugar balances the savory flavors
1 tablespoon chopped green onion optional garnish for freshness
¼ teaspoon sesame seeds optional garnish for texture

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add diced onion and grated carrot to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes, until the onion becomes tender. Stir occasionally.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add sliced cabbage, ground ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar. Continue sautéing for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

This quick and delicious meal is perfect for a busy weeknight. The savory combination of meat, veggies, and a sweet-salty sauce is sure to become a new favorite.
