Description

A quick and flavorful Chinese-inspired ground beef and cabbage stir-fry made with umami-rich mushrooms, aromatic garlic and ginger, and a savory soy-based sauce, perfect for a healthy and satisfying weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 cups green cabbage, sliced
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced (or any preferred mushrooms)
  • 4 green onions, chopped (plus additional for garnish)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  4. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Add the cabbage and stir until it wilts, about 5-7 more minutes.
  6. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Remove from heat and mix in chopped green onions.
  8. Serve hot over cooked rice, garnishing with extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute oyster sauce with hoisin or mushroom stir fry sauce.
  • Use coleslaw mix for convenience.
  • For low-carb, serve with cauliflower rice or eat without rice.
  • Great for meal prep and reheats well.
