Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet

Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon lard
1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 large head green cabbage sliced

1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 cup shredded carrots
3 green onions chopped
3 tablespoons coconut aminos or tamari/soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the lard to the pan.
  2. Once hot, add the ground beef and minced ginger. Cook until mostly browned, breaking up with a spatula as it cooks — about 5 minutes.
  3. Add all the spices to the skillet, stir to combine and cook an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the cabbage, red pepper, carrots and green onions to the pan. Gently toss to combine and let cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have wilted and softened a bit but still have a little texture to them.
  5. Add the coconut aminos and honey, toss to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour the apple cider vinegar into the pan, turn off the heat and stir to combine one last time.
  7. Serve with sesame seeds for garnish.
