Notes
To ensure your Savory Low-Carb Cabbage and Beef Stir Fry turns out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
A large skillet or wok is ideal for stir-frying, as it allows you to move the ingredients around quickly and evenly.
Maintain a high heat setting to get that signature sear and caramelization on the ingredients. This helps lock in the flavors and create a delicious, restaurant-quality dish.
Keep a close eye on the cabbage and don’t overcook it. You want it to be wilted but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked cabbage can become mushy and lose its vibrant flavor.
