Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1/2 Onion, chopped
- 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1/2 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
- 3 cups Green Cabbage, cut into thin long noodle shapes
Sauce and Seasonings
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 3 tsp Minced Garlic
- 2 tsp Ginger Paste
- 3 tsp Chili Garlic Paste
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 3 tbsp Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute
Garnish
- 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions
- Sesame Seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Add the ground beef, chopped onions, and chopped red and green bell peppers to a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté until the meat is browned and the vegetables have softened. Drain the excess grease from the skillet to keep the dish light.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, Swerve brown sugar substitute, minced garlic, ginger paste, and chili garlic paste until well combined and smooth.
- Add the Cabbage: Place the thinly sliced cabbage noodles into the skillet with the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and sauté the cabbage until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.
- Combine with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cabbage and beef mixture in the skillet. Stir well and continue to sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together nicely and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve: Garnish the finished dish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot. Enjoy your spicy Mongolian ground beef and cabbage noodles as a delicious, low-carb dinner option.
