Description
This Easy Beef Sausage and Cabbage Stir Fry is a quick and flavorful one-pan meal perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g (7 oz) smoked beef sausage, sliced into rounds
- 1 medium cabbage (400 g), thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion (150 g), sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 medium bell pepper (150 g), optional, sliced
- 1 medium carrot (100 g), optional, julienned
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp honey or a low-carb sweetener, optional
- Pinch of chili flakes, optional for spice
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace by slicing the sausage into bite-sized rounds or strips, and thinly slicing the cabbage and onion. If using, slice the bell pepper and julienne the carrot.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or sweetener), and chili flakes if desired. Stir well and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive or avocado oil. Once hot, add the sausage slices and cook until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sliced onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the onions are slightly translucent.
- Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to soften while still maintaining some crunch. If using bell pepper and carrot, add them now and sauté briefly to combine.
- Return the browned sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and stir well to evenly coat all ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors together and ensure everything is heated through.
- Remove from heat and serve hot immediately. Optionally garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs for added texture and flavor.
