Servings: 4
- 1 lb grass-fed ground beef or sub ground turkey
- 1 cup red onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger root minced or shredded
- 2 cups purple cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 cups green cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 1/4 cup bone broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch or sub corn starch
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 bunch green onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Heat a large cast-iron pan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add your grass-fed beef (or ground turkey – if using add 1 tablespoon of coconut or avocado oil), red onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Cook for about five minutes until you almost cooked through, very little pink remains.
Add purple and green cabbage to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add shredded carrots and cook for another minute or two. While cabbage and carrots are cooking, whisk together bone broth, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, salt, and arrowroot starch.
Pour sauce over the beef, cabbage, and carrots and let cook for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat. Pour a drizzle of sesame seed oil on top, add green onion, and sesame seeds. Serve as is, over cauliflower rice, or white rice.
I was inspired to make this recipe after making both Michelle of Unbound Wellness's Mongolian Beef recipe and the popular Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe from Eating Evolved while combining them with the flavors and spices cooked within SE Asia.
