Asian Beef and Napa Cabbage Slaw Salad

I recently became a Costco member (I know, how did it take me this long?) and I am obsessed with all of their healthy options. Last night I stocked up on all the organic beef, turkey and chicken. This lean ground beef is grass-fed so it has a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids, making this salad not only delicious, but also heart healthy. The warm beef mixture pairs perfectly with the crunchy slaw and seeds on top. I like serving this as-is so it’s lower carb, but if you want to add a grain, you can easily serve this with a side of brown or basmati rice.



1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add beef and cook until no longer pink. Add ginger and tamari and stir to combine; turn heat to low and keep warm.

2. Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.

3. Combine the slaw veggies in a large bowl and separate into 4 smaller serving bowls.

4. Top each portion of slaw with the warm beef mixture and drizzle with dressing. Garnish with sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.
