## How To Make Savory Low-Carb Cabbage and Beef Stir Fry
### Ingredients :
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 small head of green cabbage, shredded
– 1 small onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
– 1 tbsp sesame oil
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp ground ginger
– 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
### Directions :
1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Then add the ground beef, cooking until browned. Afterward, set aside the beef having drained the excess fat.
2. In the same pan, introduce the sesame oil, then sauté onions and garlic until they are fragrant.
3. Add your shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook until it starts to wilt, which should take around five minutes.
4. Combine the cooked beef with the cabbage by adding it back into the skillet.
5. Stirring in the soy sauce, ground ginger, and chili flakes (if using), combine everything well. Allow the mixture to cook for another 3-4 minutes, until your cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
6. Season the dish with salt and pepper to your personal taste.
7. Before serving, garnish the dish with green onions and sesame seeds.
