Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Sauces and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings and Garnish

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Green onions, for garnish (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef sirloin, shred the green cabbage, slice the onion, and mince the garlic and ginger to have everything ready.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, to create the perfect base for stir-frying.
  3. Cook the Beef: Add the sliced beef to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the beef is nicely browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside to keep warm.
  4. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and minced ginger. Sauté them for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent, allowing the flavors to release.
  5. Add the Cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage and optional red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens but retains a slight crunch.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly to combine flavors and heat through for 2-3 more minutes.
  7. Taste and Adjust: Check the seasoning and add extra salt, pepper, or soy sauce if desired to balance the flavors perfectly.
  8. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with optional sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot as a satisfying keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level or omit for no heat.
  • For a more tender beef, slice the sirloin thinly against the grain.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete keto meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
