Ingredients

• 450 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak)
• 450 grams green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
• 2 units garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 units green onions (for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef across the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.

Step 2

Shred the cabbage into thin strips and finely mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red chili flakes (if using) to make the sauce.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the beef strips to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until softened but still slightly crispy.

Step 8

Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir everything together until well-coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and heated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and serve immediately.
