Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion, diced finely
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • ½ cup carrots, peeled and finely shredded
  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

Oils

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Spices and Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • ½ to ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce

Optional Garnish

  • Green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Beef: In a large deep-sided skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Avoid breaking the beef into very small pieces; keep the chunks larger for texture. Once cooked, drain the excess grease and return the beef to the skillet.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked beef. Cook until the onions become soft and translucent, maintaining the larger beef pieces for better mouthfeel.
  3. Add Vegetables and Sesame Oil: Pour in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, the shredded carrots, and the coleslaw mix. Use tongs to toss and combine everything evenly, then let it cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
  4. Prepare and Add Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. Pour this sauce evenly over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce thicken slightly.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately as a tasty, low-carb main dish.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste and dietary sodium restrictions.
  • For a vegetarian version, use crumbled tofu or tempeh and add mushrooms for umami.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if gluten-free soy sauce is used.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days and can be reheated easily.
