Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced finely
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 cup carrots, peeled and finely shredded
- 16 ounces coleslaw mix
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (about 1/2 cup used)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the beef: In a large deep-sided skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, avoiding breaking it into smaller pieces so the texture remains chunky.
- Sauté onions and garlic: Drain excess grease from the skillet, then return it to the stovetop. Add the diced onions and minced garlic and cook until the onions become soft and translucent, keeping the beef pieces larger.
- Add aromatics and vegetables: Stir in the sesame oil, shredded carrots, and coleslaw mix using tongs to combine everything well. Cook this mixture for about 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
- Mix the seasoning sauce: In a small bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, soy sauce, and vegetable oil.
- Combine and simmer: Pour the seasoning mixture over the beef and vegetable blend, reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve warm as a hearty, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Keep the ground beef in larger pieces to mimic the texture of traditional egg rolls.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and red pepper flakes according to your taste preference and dietary needs.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to control salt content.
- This dish can be served on its own or with cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal.
- Green onions add a fresh garnish but are optional.
