Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with half the spices, and cook until fully browned. Drain any excess fat, then set the beef aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the onion and carrot. Cook for a couple of minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Make the Sauce: Add the tomato sauce and beef stock to the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes to blend the flavors.
  4. Cook the Cabbage: Add the cabbage to the skillet and season with the remaining spices. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and golden brown (about 40 minutes).
  5. Finish and Serve: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure you use a large skillet for this recipe. I used a 10 inch braiser because it's the largest dish I have.
  • I prefer to chop the cabbage into bigger chunks for better texture & flavor (check the prep instructions with pictures above).
  • Using different colored cabbages is a fun way to get more nutrients into the dish and pops of color.
  • Ground beef and cabbage stores easily making it a great meal prep recipe. Simply let it cool and portion it into lunch-size glass containers for the week.
  • If you’re slicing your own cabbage, make sure to remove any damaged leaves.
