Ingredients

For the Ground Beef Mixture:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cabbage:

  • 1 medium head of cabbage shredded
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili flakes optional
  • ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth

For Garnishing (Optional):

  • Fresh parsley chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Chop the onion and garlic, and shred the cabbage into thin slices. Keep the vegetables aside in separate bowls for easy access during cooking.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

  • Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3: Add the Cabbage

  • Push the cooked beef mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the shredded cabbage to the empty side, letting it sauté for 3-4 minutes until it softens slightly. Mix the cabbage and beef together evenly.

Step 4: Incorporate the Tomatoes and Seasonings

  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, chili flakes (if using), and chicken or vegetable broth. Combine everything well. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the dish, if desired. Serve warm as a standalone meal or over rice, noodles, or crusty bread.
