Ingredients

**For the Stir-Fry:**

– 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef

– 1 small head cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)

– 1 medium carrot, julienned

– 1 small onion, sliced

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1-inch piece ginger, grated

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

**For the Sauce:**

– 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

– 1 tablespoon sesame oil

– 1 teaspoon honey (or sugar substitute for keto)

– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

– 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

**For Garnish:**

– 2 green onions, chopped

– 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

1. **Prepare the sauce:**

– In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch (if using). Set aside.

 

2. **Cook the ground beef:**

– Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.

 

3. **Sauté the vegetables:**

– Push the beef to one side of the skillet and add the remaining olive oil. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

– Add the carrot and cabbage, stirring well to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes until cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

 

4. **Add the sauce:**

– Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

 

5. **Garnish and serve:**

– Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot on its own or with rice/cauliflower rice. Enjoy!

 

Notes

– Use ground turkey or chicken as a substitute for beef.

– For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.

– Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

– Serve with brown rice or quinoa for a balanced meal.

– To make it completely keto, skip the carrot and use a keto-friendly sweetener instead of honey.
