Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
Seasonings & Sauces
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnishes & Add-ons
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Sriracha or chili flakes for heat (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil and sauté onion: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Cook ground beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary to keep the dish from being greasy.
- Add garlic and ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant and aromatic.
- Cook vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix into the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted but still retains a little crunch.
- Incorporate sauces and seasonings: Stir in soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, hoisin sauce if using, and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes to let the flavors meld and the mixture heat through.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Top the dish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds if desired, and a drizzle of sriracha or sprinkle of chili flakes for added heat. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- Make it low-carb by skipping the hoisin sauce and serving the bowl over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or pork to vary the protein according to preference.
- Great for meal prep: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for easy reheating later.
