Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)

4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to preference)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by slicing the cabbage, onion, and bell pepper, and mince the garlic and ginger. Set everything aside for easy access during cooking.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Sauté the Vegetables: Add the sliced onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet with the beef. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.

        Add Cabbage and Bell Pepper: Toss in the sliced cabbage and bell pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted.

          Flavor the Stir Fry: Pour soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sprinkle in red pepper flakes. Stir well to coat all the ingredients in the sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, so the flavors meld together.

            Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
