  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion, and cook until beef is browned and onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in shredded cabbage and cook until it begins to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), erythritol, rice vinegar, ground ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  5. Pour the sauce over the beef and cabbage mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cabbage is tender-crisp and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, try adding a splash of sesame oil at the end of cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dish can also be served over cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
