Asian Beef Stir Fry (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Sauce

01 - 1/2 cup coconut aminos
02 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
03 - 2 teaspoons sesame oil
04 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

→ For the Stir Fry

05 - 1 tablespoon avocado oil
06 - 1 medium onion, diced
07 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
08 - 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
09 - 1 pound ground beef
10 - 1 large head cabbage, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
11 - 1/2 cup shredded carrots
12 - Sea salt and black pepper to taste
13 - Sliced green onions for topping
14 - Sesame seeds for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Set this flavorful sauce aside for later.
02 - Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté, stirring frequently, until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
03 - Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for just 1 minute until beautifully fragrant. Then add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it browns, about 5 minutes total.
04 - Add the sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook until the cabbage wilts down and the sauce reduces slightly, about 5 minutes.
05 - Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, topped with fresh green onion slices and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.

# Notes:

01 - This stir fry is perfect for meal prep - store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
02 - Feel free to add extra vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or sweet potatoes to boost nutrition.
03 - You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or pork for variety.
04 - Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles for a complete meal.
