Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Mince the garlic, finely dice the onion, measure out the ground ginger, shred the green cabbage, and thinly slice the green onions. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside.
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lean ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, add garlic and ground ginger, stirring for 30-60 seconds.
- Add Sauce and Simmer: Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and aromatics. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Sauté the Cabbage: In a separate skillet, heat avocado oil and add shredded cabbage. Sauté for 5-8 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Combine and Serve: Add the beef mixture back into the pan with the cabbage and toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
