Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Can substitute with Coconut Aminos for gluten-free.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Can be replaced with raw honey or another Paleo-approved sweetener.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Peanut oil can substitute, but lacks sesame flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Fresh is best; ground ginger can be used if needed.
For the Beef
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Can opt for ground turkey for a leaner variation.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Always use fresh for best results.
For the Vegetables
  • 2 medium Carrots Shredded or julienned carrots can be sourced pre-packaged.
  • 4 cups Cabbage Green, savoy, or Chinese cabbage can be used.
  • 3 cups Bean Sprouts Look for fresh packs in the produce section.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger. Whisk well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the ground beef. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add shredded carrots. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, allowing the carrots to slightly soften.
  4. Add chopped cabbage and fresh bean sprouts. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until cabbage wilts slightly.
  5. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables. Toss together, ensuring the sauce coats all ingredients, and heat through for about 1 minute.
  6. Remove from heat and serve over rice or noodles. Enjoy!
