Equipment

  • Large deep skillet with lid
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small head green cabbage, cored and chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Warm a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned; drain excess fat if needed.
  • Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Add the chopped cabbage and toss to combine with the beef mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to wilt, 4–5 minutes.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the tomato sauce. Season with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper; mix well.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the cabbage is tender to your liking, about 10–15 minutes. Stir once or twice during cooking.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the spices. If you prefer a softer cabbage, extend the covered simmer by a few minutes. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or in the microwave. You can swap in ground turkey or pork, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
