Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cups green cabbage
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F, creating a sizzling surface for your stir-fry.
- Drop 2 minced garlic cloves and 1-inch minced ginger into the hot oil, stirring rapidly for 30 seconds until their aromatic essence fills your kitchen.
- Tumble 1 pound ground beef into the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with your spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the meat turns completely brown.
- Introduce 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms to the beef, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their earthy flavor.
- Slide 4 cups sliced green cabbage into the pan, tossing continuously for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage becomes slightly translucent and tender.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over the mixture, stirring to coat every ingredient evenly.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper to your taste, mixing thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
- Remove the skillet from heat and fold in 4 chopped green onions for a fresh, sharp finish.
- Serve your steaming stir-fry immediately over warm rice, topping with extra green onions for a vibrant garnish.
Notes
- Select a high-heat oil like vegetable or avocado for the best stir-fry texture and flavor.
- Break ground beef into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Fresh mushrooms add more depth than canned; shiitake or cremini work wonderfully for extra umami.
- For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice or enjoy the stir-fry on its own as a protein-packed meal.
