Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 450 grams green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 units green onions (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef across the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Shred the cabbage into thin strips and finely mince the garlic and ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red chili flakes (if using) to make the sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the beef strips to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and set it aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until softened but still slightly crispy.
Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir everything together until well-coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and heated.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and serve immediately.
