Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds of ground beef: Provides a rich, meaty base for the dish.
  • 1 large onion, diced finely: Adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic: Infuses the dish with aromatic pungency.
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil: Imparts a distinctive, nutty flavor.
  • ½ cup of carrots, peeled and finely shredded: Offers a hint of sweetness and a vibrant color.
  • 16-ounce bag of coleslaw mix: Adds crunch and a variety of textures.
  • ½ teaspoon of onion powder: Enhances the overall savoriness.
  • ½ teaspoon of garlic powder: Complements the minced garlic for a more robust flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes: Introduces a gentle heat.
  • 1½ teaspoons of ground ginger: Provides a warm, spicy note.
  • ½ to ¾ cup of low-sodium soy sauce: Balances the flavors with its salty umami.
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil: Ensures even cooking and adds richness.
  • Green onions for garnish, optional: Adds a fresh, sharp finish.

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Begin by browning the ground beef in your skillet over medium heat. Aim to keep the beef chunks larger for a more satisfying texture.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess grease, then return the skillet to the heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent.
  3. Add Vegetables and Sesame Oil: Introduce the sesame oil, shredded carrots, and coleslaw mix to the skillet. Employ your tongs to mix these ingredients, allowing them to cook together for about five minutes.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, blend the onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. This concoction will be the flavor backbone of your dish.
  5. Combine and Cook: Pour the sauce over the skillet contents, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Reduce the heat and let the dish simmer for an additional five minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Variations: Feel free to swap ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or pork for a different flavor profile.
  • Vegetarian Option: Omit the meat and double up on the veggies or use tofu for a vegetarian version.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
