Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Liquids and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup beef broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for a tangy kick)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onion: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Season Meat: Mix in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, coating the meat evenly with spices for rich flavor.
  5. Incorporate Cabbage and Broth: Add the shredded cabbage and pour in the beef broth. Stir to combine, distributing cabbage throughout the meat.
  6. Simmer Covered: Cover the skillet and let cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized.
  7. Finish with Soy Sauce and Vinegar: Stir in optional soy sauce and apple cider vinegar for added depth and tang. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot as a hearty one-pan meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat if you like spicy dishes.
  • Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free and soy-free.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stove or microwave.
  • Serve with rice or crusty bread to make it a more filling meal.
