Ingredients
  

  • 400 g green cabbage shredded
  • 1 kg beef thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots julienned
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece of ginger minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar or substitute with apple cider vinegar.
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Chopped green onions two in number, for a decorative touch.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Thinly slice the beef, cabbage, and onion. Julienne the carrots, and mince the garlic and ginger.
  • Set aside all prepared ingredients.

Marinate the Beef (Optional):

  • For extra flavor, toss the beef in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.

Cook the Beef:

  • In a large skillet or wok, warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • Introduce the beef and sauté until it is browned and fully cooked, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Once done, transfer the beef to a plate and set it aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

  • In the same skillet, drizzle in an additional tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  • Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the carrots and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until it begins to soften.

Combine and Season:

  • Reintroduce the cooked beef back into the skillet with the vegetables.
  • Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Stir well to combine all ingredients and coat them in the sauce.
  • Continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Take it off the heat and top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if you like.
  • Serve hot as a standalone dish or over rice.
