Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

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

Spices and Flavorings

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

Other Ingredients

  • 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)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Cook Onions: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  4. Add Spices: Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to evenly coat the meat with the spices.
  5. Add Cabbage and Broth: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and pour in the beef broth. Stir everything together, ensuring the cabbage is well-distributed with the beef mixture.
  6. Cook Covered: Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage should become tender and slightly caramelized.
  7. Finish with Sauces: Once the cabbage is cooked to your liking, add the soy sauce (if using) and apple cider vinegar (if using). Stir to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot as a savory, one-pan meal, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, reduce or omit the paprika.
  • Use beef broth instead of water for a richer taste, or substitute vegetable broth for a lighter option.
  • To make it gluten-free, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
  • Drain excess fat after cooking beef to reduce the fat content if desired.
  • This dish can be served with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a more filling meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
