Grab you a head of cabbage. We're going
0:04
to make an easy weekn night meal. This
0:07
is Mongolian ground beef and cabbage
0:11
skillet. It's low carb. It's a quick and
0:14
easy meal that your whole family is
0:17
going to love. Now, to put this thing
0:19
together, the first thing you want to do
0:21
is prep the cabbage, onions, and garlic
0:24
first and get that ready to go. We're
0:27
going to be all in one skillet today for
0:28
this meal. It's going to come together
0:30
pretty fast. This is crucial. All right,
0:34
you guys. Come on up. We're going to
0:36
take this head of cabbage and we're
0:38
going to get it ready. Now, with my
0:40
cabbage, I've already taken off the
0:41
outer layers and cleaned it up just a
0:43
little bit. Now, I like to take a big
0:45
large knife, very sharp, and go down the
0:49
four sides of it
0:52
till we get that size right there.
0:56
This is really easy. Like I said, this
0:58
is going to be an easy meal to put
0:59
together. I'm just going to need the
1:01
four sides right here.
1:04
And what's left, we will save
1:08
for a small slo that we can have for a
1:11
dinner later this week. So, we'll put
1:14
that off to the side. Now, what we want
1:15
to do is thinly slice the cabbage till
1:20
we get ribbons.
1:22
You want big long pieces in there. It'll
1:25
kind of mimic like a spaghetti or
1:28
linguini or anything like that. Now,
1:31
I've made Mongolian dishes using pasta
1:34
before, but we're doing a low carb
1:37
today. A lot of y'all like the low carb
1:40
dishes,
1:41
so we're going to do that. All right,
1:43
I've got this all chopped up
1:46
nice and fine like that right here. I'm
1:49
going to do the other three right here.
1:51
And then I'm going to bring you back.
1:53
Right. It looks like a lot of cabbage,
1:54
doesn't it? But y'all, it's going to
1:56
wilt down.
1:58
If you don't put enough in there, you're
2:00
not going to find it.
2:02
Look at this. I had to take the onion
2:04
and garlic off the board.
2:08
There we go. Just like that. I'm going
2:11
to take the onion and we're going to
2:12
chop that up. There we go. Now, let's
2:17
take care of some garlic.
2:20
Put them on a cutting board. Now I'm
2:23
going to take the flat end of my knife,
2:27
place it on the garlic, beat it down.
2:31
Peel off the outer layer. This is really
2:34
easy way to peel garlic. Just like that.
2:38
Oh, it smells so good. Keep it fresh,
2:41
you guys, with your garlic. No jarred
2:43
garlic in this recipe. We need the
2:46
flavor to come through. Take your knife
2:49
and just run it through it.
2:52
as fine as you want it and then just
2:55
keep bringing it to you. That looks good
2:57
right there. That'll distribute well
3:00
throughout our dish.
3:03
All right. In a large deep skillet, I'm
3:06
just using a walk here. We're going to
3:08
add in one tablespoon of some cooking
3:10
oil. I'm using the olive oil. And I've
3:14
got one pound of ground beef in my pan
3:17
here. We're going to break it all up.
3:21
And we're going to brown up the ground
3:23
beef till it's no longer pink.
3:27
It's in tiny little pieces.
3:30
That olive oil will add a nice flavor to
3:32
the dish, too.
3:34
Flavor up that ground beef.
3:39
All right, here we go, you guys.
3:40
Everything's happening right in here.
3:42
Let's go.
3:45
Now, once the ground beef is almost
3:47
cooked through, we're going to go ahead
3:48
and add the onion.
3:53
We'll get that in and then we'll cook
3:56
this another two to three minutes until
3:58
those onions are nice and soft.
4:04
Now, this is kind of a stir fry dish.
4:06
You add your veggies in and you stir it
4:08
up with some beef and you add some kind
4:10
of Asian flavors to it and it's like
4:13
really good. Now, generally they use
4:15
like sliced beef in it, and I'm making
4:18
it really easy tonight using the ground
4:20
beef because generally people have that
4:22
more than they have sliced beef.
4:25
So, that's where we're getting our
4:27
flavors from for this recipe today. All
4:30
right, we're going to drain out any
4:32
excess liquid in the beef onion mixture.
4:41
Woo!
4:43
That's a good stir fry sound. While it's
4:46
doing that, we're going to add in our
4:49
minced garlic.
4:52
We're going to stir this around. Release
4:54
those aromomas.
4:56
It's going to smell good in there. Do
4:59
this for one minute.
5:03
Oh my gosh. Garlic and onion. I tell you
5:06
what,
5:08
I'm going to wake up the neighborhood
5:10
with this one.
5:12
It's time to add the cabbage. Yeah,
5:19
we're going to put it all in there.
5:23
I'm going to put some in there. I'm
5:24
going to stir it around. Kind of wilt it
5:26
just a little bit and add the rest.
5:29
Yeah.
5:32
As soon as you have room in your pan,
5:34
add some more cabbage.
5:36
And keep going. We only want to do this
5:39
for five minutes. We don't want it
5:41
wilted to death, you know. We We want
5:44
some crispness to the dish. It's a nice
5:46
little crunchiness to it. So, we're not
5:49
going to over stimulate the cabbage
5:52
here. All right, it's looking pretty
5:54
good. Got just a few more minutes. So,
5:57
what I'm going to do is start making
5:58
that sauce.
6:01
You're just going to need a small bowl.
6:04
And we're going to start with four
6:05
tablespoons of soy sauce. Now, I'm using
6:09
the 38%
6:11
low sodium.
6:13
So, we're just going to measure it out.
6:16
One,
6:18
two,
6:21
three,
6:23
four. Now, I do have other Mongolian
6:26
recipes on my blog. Some have pasta in
6:30
it and some is served over rice. Some
6:32
was cooked in the crock pot. but it had
6:35
a lot of brown sugar, hoen sauce, and
6:38
other things in it which ups the carb
6:40
count to your dish. We're keeping that
6:42
out of this dish today. But we got lots
6:44
of flavor happening, including that. So,
6:47
we are going to add in two tablespoons
6:49
of extra virgin sesame oil.
6:53
That will add some delicious flavor.
6:58
One
7:00
and two.
7:03
Little extra spillage is totally fine.
7:07
More flavor.
7:12
We're going to add in two tablespoons of
7:15
rice vinegar.
7:22
One and two.
7:27
Now I'm going to add in a little bit of
7:30
honey. This is what I'm using right
7:32
here. Just a little bit like that. Boop.
7:35
That's going to be our sweetener right
7:37
there.
7:42
Now, we're going to add some seasonings.
7:46
Soon as I get that off my finger. We're
7:48
going to shake in some ground ginger.
7:51
Now, if you have fresh ginger, you go
7:54
right ahead. I'm looking for about a
7:56
teaspoon.
7:58
We want that flavor in there.
8:01
We're going to add in some garlic.
8:05
Let's see. Here it is. Right here.
8:07
Powder. Enhance that garlic in there
8:10
already.
8:12
Maybe we don't need this in there.
8:17
There we go. We're not going to start
8:19
with that.
8:21
All right. We got some onion powder.
8:24
Let's see.
8:26
Onion powder.
8:31
going to go in with it.
8:34
Got some black pepper.
8:44
And then we're going to whisk that
8:46
before we add salt. Make sure you give
8:48
it a taste so you can adjust any
8:50
flavors. if you want to add some extra
8:52
honey to it for sweetness
8:55
or if you need to add some salt to it
8:57
because we did a low sodium soy sauce
8:59
here. We got a lot of cabbage and ground
9:02
beef in there going on. So, if you feel
9:03
like you need a little extra salt, put
9:06
it in. Let's see.
9:11
Oh man, that's good. All right, you
9:13
guys. We're going to add that in. Stir
9:16
it all up. Cook it down for one more
9:17
minute. Keep our cabbage nice and
9:19
crispy, right?
9:25
Oh yeah.
9:31
Is it all out? Is that it? Okay.
9:34
Stir it all up.
9:40
Now, if you want to add a little crunch
9:42
to it, you can add some sesame seeds.
9:45
You can add some green onions in there
9:46
if you want to do that.
9:49
But y'all, I'm calling it right now.
9:51
Look at this right here. Oh,
9:54
red pepper flakes. Let's get them. Yep.
9:58
Thomas is happy.
10:00
>> Very little.
10:03
We want to wake it up. Not set it on
10:06
fire.
10:07
Save some for Thomas.
10:10
Sesame seeds.
10:16
Y'all got a spoon or fork? Let's give
10:18
this a try.
10:22
Let's plate it up.

10:30

10:35

10:37

10:59
to grab a fork and give it a try for
11:00
you.
11:11
Wow.
11:14
There's a lot of things going on in
11:15
there.
11:18
You don't need that brown sugar or the
11:20
hoen sauce and all of that.
11:35
Grab you a head of cabbage, some ground
11:37
beef, and put this one together. All
11:39
