Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 1 cup beef broth (or water)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Begin by washing and chopping the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Set it aside. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
    • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Combine the Ingredients:
    • Stir in the chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
  4. Adjust Seasoning and Serve:
    • Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if needed. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more beef broth or water.
    • Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
  5. Enjoy:
    • Serve hot as a hearty meal on its own or with a side of crusty bread or rice.
