Ground Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry
This quick and easy weeknight beef stir-fry recipe is made with ground sirloin and chopped cabbage sauteed with ginger, garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce. It's delicious served over rice or wrapped in lettuce cups.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic paste (optional)
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 6 cups Napa cabbage (chopped (or any kind of cabbage!))
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- scallions optional garnish, minced scallions
- sesame seeds optional garnish, minced scallions
Instructions
- Heat a large wok or saute pan over high heat. Add sesame oil, sambal, garlic and ginger. Heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Add ground beef to the pan along with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Using a wooden spoon, begin breaking down the beef in to bite-sized pieces. Continue sauteing beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes stirring frequently.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the wok along with sugar, more salt and pepper to taste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and water. Stir well then sauté until cabbage is softened, about 3-4 additional minutes. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly before serving.
Notes
- I love using napa cabbage for this recipe but any type of green cabbage would work well as would bok choy.
