Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1/2 head cabbage, shredded
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, shredded
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) honey
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
Garnish:

Instructions
- Sear the ground beef in a sizzling skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F, crumbling the meat with a wooden spatula until it develops a rich, golden-brown exterior and no pink remains.
- Introduce finely chopped onions, julienned carrots, and shredded cabbage into the skillet, allowing the vegetables to caramelize and soften for approximately 4-5 minutes while releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Drizzle a harmonious blend of soy sauce, tangy rice vinegar, golden honey, fragrant sesame oil, pungent garlic powder, and warming ginger powder over the meat and vegetable mixture, thoroughly integrating the seasonings and letting them meld for 60-90 seconds.
- Transfer the steaming stir fry to serving plates, creating an appetizing presentation by generously sprinkling freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds across the top for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier stir fry option.
- Slice vegetables uniformly for even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Customize protein by substituting ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or tofu for dietary preferences.
- Pat ground beef dry before cooking to achieve better browning and prevent steaming instead of searing.
