Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef or sausage (substitute with turkey, chicken, or game meat)
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ tablespoons unrefined sesame oil (use avocado oil for strict AIP)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons powdered ginger (or freshly grated ginger)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (omit for AIP)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules (or 4 cloves garlic, minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • Optional: 1/16 teaspoon stevia extract for sweetness
  • Optional: ½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes for heat
  • 2 tablespoons white wine (substitute with broth for AIP)
  • ⅓ cup beef broth (or vegetable broth for vegan option)
  • 9 cups shredded cabbage (about one medium head)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded carrots
  • 4 teaspoons tamari (or coconut aminos for AIP compliance)
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Meat

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

Add the chopped onions, garlic granules, and sesame oil to the pan. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Step 3: Build Flavor

Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in powdered ginger, salt, black pepper (if using), stevia extract, red pepper flakes (optional), white wine (or broth), and beef broth. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.

Step 4: Add Vegetables

Gently fold in the shredded cabbage and stir to coat with the sauce mixture. Cook while stirring frequently until the cabbage begins to wilt slightly—about 5–7 minutes. Add shredded carrots during the last two minutes of cooking to keep them slightly crisp.

Step 5: Final Touches

Drizzle tamari or coconut aminos over the mixture and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.

Step 6: Serve & Garnish

Serve hot over cauliflower rice or regular rice if not strictly following AIP. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Pair this dish with steamed broccoli or an Asian cucumber salad for a complete meal. It’s also delicious on its own or served over noodles for a non-AIP twist.

Tips & Tricks:

  1. Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix to save time on chopping vegetables.
  2. Adjust coconut aminos or tamari to balance sweetness and saltiness based on your preference.
  3. For extra flavor, drizzle toasted sesame oil on top before serving (if not strictly AIP).

Storage & Reheating:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed to prevent drying out. For longer storage, freeze individual portions for up to three months; thaw overnight before reheating.
