Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small head cabbage, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, crumbling it well until no pink remains. Drain any accumulated grease.
  2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in the chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes, beef broth, soy sauce, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  5. Remove from heat and optionally garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot from the skillet.

Notes

This dish is perfect for leftovers, keeping well in the fridge for about 3-4 days and being freezer-friendly for up to 3 months. Serve it with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal. Don't skip toasting the garlic for extra flavor.
