Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Sauces and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Green onions, for garnish (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef sirloin, shred the green cabbage, and slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and grate or mince the fresh ginger to ensure all ingredients are ready for quick cooking.
  2. Heat the Oil: Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil along with the sesame oil. Allow the oils to heat until shimmering but not smoking, creating a flavorful base for the stir-fry.
  3. Cook the Beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the hot skillet, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook the beef for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is browned and cooked through. Once done, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside to prevent overcooking.
  4. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and minced ginger. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant and the onions start to soften, unlocking their flavors.
  5. Add the Cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage along with the optional red pepper flakes. Cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender yet retains a satisfying crunch.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the cabbage and aromatics. Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything together thoroughly. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes to heat all ingredients through and allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Taste and Adjust: Sample the stir-fry and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce as preferred to balance the taste perfectly.
  8. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • This dish can be made gluten-free by substituting soy sauce with tamari.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your spice preference or omit for a milder dish.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped water chestnuts or bell peppers along with the cabbage.
  • Use a well-heated skillet or wok to achieve the best sear and flavor in the beef.
  • This recipe is keto-friendly, low in carbohydrates, and high in protein.
