This skillet dinner is the kind of weeknight meal that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Ground beef gets deeply browned before meeting a pile of tender cabbage and sweet julienned carrots, all tossed in a savory-bright sauce built from coconut aminos, fresh lemon juice, and golden turmeric. Coconut aminos do all the heavy lifting here — delivering that rich, umami-forward flavor you'd expect from a stir fry sauce without any grain-based ingredients to worry about. The garlic-infused oil adds a mellow, aromatic depth throughout, and a hit of fresh ginger bloomed right in the pan ties everything together beautifully. It's a naturally grain-free approach to a classic combination, so anyone navigating rye or broader gluten concerns can dig in without scanning labels or second-guessing the sauce. Finish it with sliced green onion tops, a scatter of sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro if you like a little brightness, and you've got a bowl that's colorful, satisfying, and genuinely hard to stop eating.

Heat 1 tbsp of the garlic-infused oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then break it apart and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned throughout with no pink remaining and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), about 5–6 minutes total. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
Return the skillet to high heat and add the remaining 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil. Add the carrots and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
