Instructions
1

Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat and push the beef to one side of the skillet. On the other side, add 4 cups of shredded cabbage and 1 cup of sliced carrots.

3

Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of sriracha to create the spicy peanut sauce.

4

Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well-coated with the sauce.

5

Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
