This Asian Beef & Cabbage Skillet dinner is a go-to meal for my family and even my young daughter enjoys the flavors. For my teen, it’s one of the only ways we can convince him to eat cabbage and for my husband and me, it encompasses great Asian flavors without resorting to take-out that’s both costly and often full of MSG.
To spice this up, add some crushed red peppers or Thai hot peppers (which we grow in the garden) while it simmers.
Add a drizzling of sriracha sauce along with sesame seeds, and green onions for garnish. This one-pot, 30-minute meal is sure to please.

Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt, more or less to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup rice, white or brown
- 3 cups water or beef stock
- 1/2 tablespoon powdered ginger
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- Sesame Seeds
- 3 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add the ground beef and sesame oil and saute over medium high heat.
- Peel and finely dice the onion, and add it to the meat, stirring it occasionally.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage shreds. Cut the head of cabbage in half from the top, through the core, then cut each half again, so you have 4 pieces approximately equal in size. Carefully slice away the core, by angling the knife into the cabbage just above the core forming a “V” and slicing down toward the cutting board. Discard the core. Then, roughly shred or chop the cabbage.
- Once the meat is browned, stir in the salt, pepper to taste and add the rice and beef stock or water.
- Cook the rice about 15 minutes before adding the cabbage. Continue cooking until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the rice is tender, add the soy sauce and powdered ginger. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your likings. Garnish with a drizzle of sesame oil, some sesame seeds and a sprinkling of green onions for an Asian Inspired Skillet Dinner.
