Ingredients

Stir-Fry Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mushroom soy sauce or dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Stir-Fry

  • 1 pound lean ground beef, such as sirloin or bison
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 6 cups sliced napa cabbage
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded carrot
  • Rice, optional, for serving
  • Sliced scallion greens, for garnish
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Cooking spray

Method

  1. Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a measuring cup and set aside.
  2. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and coat it with cooking spray. Brown the beef, breaking it into small pieces, until cooked through.
  3. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer the beef mixture to a plate and wipe the pan clean.
  4. Return the pan to medium heat and add the sesame oil. Cook the cabbage, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the carrot and cooked beef. Stir in the sauce and cook for 30 to 40 seconds, until it coats the meat.
  6. Serve over rice, if desired, and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
