Now that you have gathered all the ingredients, it’s time to start cooking. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a perfect Beef Sausage and Cabbage Stir-Fry:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Ensure that the beef sausage is sliced into even pieces for consistent cooking.
- Shred the cabbage and slice the onion thinly.
- Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
- Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding other ingredients to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Beef Sausage:
- Add the sliced beef sausage to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and slightly crispy.

- Season the Stir-Fry:
- Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the ground black pepper, paprika, red chili flakes, and salt over the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
- Finish with Garnishes:
- Once everything is well-cooked and seasoned, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve Hot:
