Notes
-
For a lower-carb version, serve the beef and cabbage mixture on its own or with a side of cauliflower rice.
-
You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to the mix for extra flavor and nutrition.
-
If you prefer more of a stir-fry texture, cook the cabbage for a shorter amount of time, leaving it slightly crisp.
