This skirt steak beef strip and cabbage stir fry is delicious and "humble food".  Don't have strip steak?  Cool - use ground beef instead.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • ~2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 lb skirt steak, thinly sliced (any cut of thin sliced beef will also work)
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce / tamari - regular or gluten free
  • 2 Tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup onions, finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Ingredients Cabbage:

  • ~ 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 1 head cabbage, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground oregano

Instructions

For Beef: 

  • Mix all beef ingredients in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes.  
  • Bring a large pan to medium-high heat and coat the bottom with a thin layer of vegetable oil.  Add the beef/sauce/onions/garlic and fry for ~ 2-3 minutes.  
  • Cook in two separate batches if you have a small pan as you want to sear the beef and not steam it.  If you cut the beef thin enough, this will be plenty of time to be cooked through.

For Cabbage:  

  • Bring a pot to medium high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and throw in diced onions.  Saute ~ 4-6 minutes or until translucent.  Add cabbage and remaining ingredients and stir.
  • Reduce heat to low/medium, cover, cook for ~ 45 minutes or until cabbage is wilted and soft.  Add a little more oil or water if needed.  Stir occasionally.
  • Serve beef over cabbage.  Add salt to taste.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Turn up the heat in the final 5 minutes (watching carefully) if you want your cabbage to caramelize and turn brownish.
