Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 cup coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (red or green)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet heated to medium, brown the ground beef, systematically breaking it apart while cooking. Eliminate excess grease to maintain a lighter dish.
- Once beef is thoroughly browned, incorporate chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until onions become translucent and aromatic.
- Introduce thinly sliced bell peppers and coleslaw mix into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, ensuring vegetables reach a tender yet vibrant consistency.
- Infuse the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, and optional ginger. Thoroughly integrate these elements, carefully balancing flavors and adjusting sriracha for desired heat level.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, allowing ingredients to meld together during an additional 2-3 minutes of heating. Ensure complete sauce coverage and uniform temperature throughout.
- Remove skillet from heat and elevate the dish’s visual and textural appeal by sprinkling chopped green onions and sesame seeds across the surface.
- Serve immediately while warm, offering the option of enjoying the mixture standalone or wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves for a refreshing, low-carb alternative.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option that keeps the dish light and nutritious.
- Use cauliflower rice instead of coleslaw mix to reduce carbohydrates and create a keto-friendly version of this recipe.
- Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to boost nutrient content and create more volume in the dish.
- Consider using coconut aminos as a low-sodium alternative to traditional soy sauce for those watching their salt intake or following a paleo diet.
