Ingredients:

2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 lb. organic grass-fed, grass-finished ground meat (you can substitute turkey if you desire)

1 cup shitake mushrooms, sliced

2 medium onions, minced

1 cup carrots, shredded

1 head shredded cabbage (about 8 cups)

4 garlic cloves, minced

½ cup chopped green onion for garnish

2 tbsp. olive, avocado or unrefined sesame oil

2 tsp. ginger powder

2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

½ cup organic beef or vegetable broth

4-5 tbsp. coconut aminos (to taste)

2-3 tbsp. organic tamari (optional and to taste)

1-2 tbsp. toasted sesame oil

sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation:

  • Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven (I like to use a cast iron skillet) over medium heat.  Cook meat until browned.

  • Add another tbsp. of oil, add onions and cook for a few min. Add carrots, garlic, mushrooms and spices and sauté until softened, about  another 4-5 min.

  • Add broth to pan and stir well.  

  • Add cabbage,  coconut aminos and tamari and cook until cabbage wilts.  

  • Add toasted sesame oil and season with salt and pepper and adjust any flavorings as desired.

  • Serve over rice or quinoa, garnish with green onions and enjoy!
