Easy low-carb, one-pan dinner packed with ground beef, fresh vegetables, and bold Asian-inspired flavors ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion (optional, for garnish)
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook about 5 minutes, breaking apart with spatula, until browned with crispy edges. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in diced onion and grated carrot. Cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and becomes translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Add sliced cabbage, ground ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Toss to combine and cook 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until cabbage wilts but retains some crunch.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper if desired.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if using. Serve hot over cauliflower rice, regular rice, or in lettuce wraps.

Notes

  • Use food processor to quickly shred cabbage and carrots for faster prep.
  • Coleslaw mix works as convenient shortcut, saving prep time.
  • Don’t overcook cabbage. It should be tender but still have bite for best texture.
  • For keto version, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and omit sugar.
  • Ground turkey, chicken, or pork work well as beef substitutes.
