Savory Chinese-style skillet with ground beef and cabbage in a flavorful garlic-ginger soy sauce—quick, comforting, and great over rice or noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 4 cups (about 300 g) green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp chili paste or flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook until browned—about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until onion softens and becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in sliced cabbage; cook, stirring often, until cabbage softens—about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and chili paste (optional). Mix thoroughly and cook 2–3 minutes more so flavors mingle.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more soy sauce or a pinch of salt if needed.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef for ground turkey or pork for variation.
  • For more veggies, add shredded carrots or bell pepper in step 4.
  • Serve over steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or with noodles.
  • To prep ahead, mix sauce ingredients in advance—add in step 5.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in skillet or microwave.
