Ground Beef Cabbage Stir Fry Recipe
In this Whole30 stir fry recipe, ground beef is cooked with garlic, ginger, and onion, then combined with cabbage and carrots. The whole thing is coated in the most amazing paleo stir fry sauce that resembles Korean barbecue to me. It's delicious with some rice, but if you are paleo or Whole30 – you can always enjoy with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
Ingredients in Asian Ground Beef Stir Fry
- coconut aminos: This is a soy free and grain free version of soy sauce. It's delicious adds a slight sweetness to the sauce without any added sugars! This is my favorite brand.

- crushed red pepper flakes: You can omit this for less spice!
- avocado oil: Or any of your other favorite cooking oil will work.
- onion
- ground beef
- garlic
- ginger

I also like to garnish this Korean ground beef stir fry with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, but they are completely optional!
