Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef (or sirloin, thinly sliced)

4 cups green cabbage, shredded

1 medium bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow)

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a low-sodium option)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

    Add the ground beef (or sliced sirloin) to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. If using sirloin, cook until it's just browned on the outside but still medium-rare inside, about 4-5 minutes.

      Once the beef is cooked, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

        Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and mix well. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is wilted and has slightly reduced in volume.

          Drizzle soy sauce over the stir-fry and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using). Toss everything together and cook for another minute to let the flavors meld.

            Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired.

              Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
