  1. In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. Toss in ground beef, cooking until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  4. Stir in carrots, bell pepper, and Napa cabbage, allowing them to cook until tender-crisp, around 3 to 4 minutes.

Notes

For a stunning presentation, serve in a deep bowl with a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds and extra green onions on top. This dish can easily be made vegan by substituting ground beef with crumbled tempeh or lentils and ensuring tamari is used instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
