Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 cups chopped cabbage
- 2 heads baby bok choy, trimmed
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch (or arrowroot)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart as it cooks until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Allow it to sit undisturbed for a few minutes to crisp.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add green onions and cabbage; sauté for about 2 minutes. Add bok choy and carrot; cook until wilted (about 3 minutes). Add minced garlic; cook for an additional minute.
- Combine: Return cooked beef to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Pour in sauce and stir gently to coat everything evenly.
- Serve: Serve hot over rice or cauliflower rice; garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
