Start by finely dicing the onion, julienning or grating the carrot, and thinly slicing the cabbage. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and season with sea salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion, julienned carrot, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage, ground ginger, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar. Stir and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
