A tasty Korean inspired Beef and Cabbage Stir-fry with a delicious homemade stir-fry sauce that is equal parts savory, sweet, and slightly spicy.

Whenever I need dinner in a rush, I immediately turn to stir-fries. Why? Well, not only do they cook up fast, but they are also a great way to squeeze in lots of extra vegetables, something I love to do whenever possible.

Lately, I have been loving Korean flavors in particular. These flavors typically include a combination of savory, sweet, and spicy elements. So, with that in mind, I made a marinade/stir-fry sauce for this dish out of soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, and a touch of Sriracha.

I take this marinade/sauce and first marinate the steak in it, then I use the marinade to create the sauce, which also helps the cabbage cook more quickly.

Tips for Making Beef Stir Fry

  • Remember, that when you're cooking a stir-fry you want really high heat, but you also don't want the steak (or other meat) to boil in the liquid. So make sure to really drain off the excess marinade from the meat first. Then, as it cooks, continue to drain off the extra liquid. This ensures the steak takes on a nice browning on the outside and stays tender on the inside.,/li>
  • Make sure to bring your meat up to room temperature before cooking (about 20 minutes). If you put meat on that's right out of the fridge it will cool your wok/skillet off immediately and it won't get that nice sear on the outside of the meat.
  • If you are cooking up a lot of vegetables (more than just cabbage), you'll want to sear the meat, then remove it and set it aside while you cook the veggies. Then, add the meat back at the end to finish cooking for a couple minutes before serving.
  • Cook vegetables from toughest/biggest first (like broccoli, cauliflower, peppers), then add in faster-cooking/smaller veggies next (like cabbage, mushrooms, asparagus) so that the bigger veggies have time to cook and you don't overcook the smaller ones.

How do you cut steak for stir-fries?

Slice the steak thin against the grain when making strips of beef for stir-fries. This will create the most tender steak. You can either marinate the steak whole, then cut it before cooking, or cut it into strips, and then marinade it before cooking. Both options work but the steak can absorb even more flavor if cut before marinating.

One trick for cutting steak into very thin slices is placing it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This hardens the meat and makes it easier to slice.

What to serve with beef and Cabbage Stir Fry

  • If fried rice is a favorite, consider serving this alongside some cauliflower fried rice or this healthier fried rice.
  • Steamed white or brown rice also work great for serving with stir fry. For an easier option, grab some precooked or frozen rice to cut down on prep time.
  • Consider adding a fried egg on top of this story fry and serve it over a bed of rice.
  • Any type of noodles work well with this dish, consider rice noodles or soba noodles.

How to use leftover cabbage?

Cabbage is often overlooked as a veggie and I'm here to change that! There are so many different ways to include cabbage in your dishes. Some examples include:

  • Eating it all by itself or as a side like in this Crispy Roasted Cabbage dish.
  • Or you can grill it in larger pieces alongside whatever else you're grilling.
  • Add cabbage to a vegetable soup or minestrone for extra fiber and bulk.
  • Make a spicy slaw to put atop burgers, sloppy joes, tacos, and more.
  • Stuff them with meat and roll them up like an eggroll, then boil in some chicken broth and tomato sauce, or bake.
  • Use cabbage leaves as the wrapper for cooked beef or chicken instead of lettuce.
  • Try your hand at making your own sauerkraut or kimchi.

What are the health benefits of eating cabbage?

Cabbage is really good for you. I recommend adding it to your veggie rotation whenever possible.

First off, cabbage is really low in calories. Also, it's high in tons of vitamins like K, C, B6, and A. In addition, cabbage has 1 gram of protein and 2 grams of fiber per serving, folate, manganese, calcium, potassium, magnesium, riboflavin, and iron.

Cabbage has been shown to help fight inflammation, and the vitamin C it contains helps your body make collagen, absorb iron, and protect the body from free radicals.
