Ingredients
1 pound ground beef*
1 large bell pepper, cut into thin strip. Any colour is fine but I prefer red.
2 leaves cabbage, cut into thin strip
1 onion, cut into thin strips
1 tbsp garlic, minced
.5 tsp ginger, minced
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
.5 tsp crushed red-pepper flakes, more to taste
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
.5 tsp white sesame seeds, lightly toasted
*If you want to be fancy, you can use sirloin beef cut into very thin strips. make sure to cut against the grain so you don't end up with super chewy strips of beef. You can also marinade the meat in a bit of cornstarch and flour for extra tenderness if you're feeling extra.
Instructions:
1. Mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes in small bowl. Set aside.
2. Fry up onions on high heat in some oil for 2-3min until onions are starting to turn translucent. Add garlic and ginger stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 1min).
3. Add ground beef and cook until well browned and starting to turn crispy (5-7 min). Make sure you are stirring often to crumble meat. If you are using beef strips, you may want to cook them in a separate pan to make sure the meat cooks evenly.
4. Add cabbage and bell peppers and cook another 3-4min until vegetables are starting to soften.
5. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir in soy sauce mixture until well combined. Cook another 2-4min or until veggies are cooked to your preferred softness. I like mine with a bit of crunch still.
6. Serve on rice and garnish with toasted sesame seed and green onions.
