Asian Beef, Broccoli, and Cabbage Stir-Fry – so easy-to-make and healthy! Cabbage is cooked in a simple homemade Asian sauce until soft and very flavorful! Great dinner or side dish!
The recipe is gluten free as I am using gluten-free tamari sauce. Regular (non gluten-free) soy sauce can be used as well if you’re not gluten free. There are only very few very simple steps to making this recipe. Cook the beef, drain any fat from the skillet. Add chopped cabbage and garlic:
MY OTHER VIDEOSCook until cabbage is tender and reduces in volume:
Stir in cooked (or blanched) broccoli. Add the homemade Asian sauce ingredients. Cook, constantly stirring. Season with salt if necessary.
Your delicious stir-fry is ready! It’s a great way to use cabbage! You can easily double this recipe to use the whole cabbage head (this recipe uses only half of the cabbage head as it’s quite a lot of volume when chopped, and I was able to fit only half of it in my largest cooking pan).
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 head cabbage, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup cooked broccoli, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup tamari sauce (use less if using regular soy sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until cooked through. Drain any fat or liquid.
- To the same skillet, add chopped cabbage and garlic. Cook until cabbage is tender and reduces in volume. Stir in cooked (or blanched) broccoli.
- Add tamari sauce, ginger, and sesame oil and stir to combine - on medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch - and mix it in the bowl until smooth. Add the corn starch water to the skillet, mix with cabbage and cook on medium heat until heated through and sauce somewhat thickens, constantly stirring.
- Season with salt if necessary.

Using my coleslaw mix with onions etc, can’t wait.

Julia, I am finishing up a batch of cabbage stir-fry I made the other day tonight! I love to stir-fry cabbage but I just cook it with garlic and some dried shrimp and use it as a side. I’ve never added beef to it – great idea!
