Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter , divided
- 1 head cabbage , chopped
- 1 yellow onion , diced
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 6 Brioche buns , toasted
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese , sliced
Instructions
- In a large skillet add the butter to the pan on medium high heat and cook the cabbage until crisp on both sides, stirring occasionally (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove the cabbage and add the beef and onions, cooking well, breaking it apart but leaving some chunks about the size of a raspberry or small grape (don't crush the heck out of it, the larger crumbles will help give the sandwich stability).
- Cook until well browned (5-6 minutes), then add in half the cooked cabbage, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, beef broth and cornstarch before adding it to the pan along with the cooked beef and stirring well.
- Continue cooking until the sauce starts to evaporate and the mixture becomes "sloppy" (about 5-6 minutes).
- The consistency you are looking for is reduced enough that spoonfuls can be placed on top of each other with the bottom spoonful not spreading more than a half inch or so.
- Toast the buns then spoon over the mixture and top sliced mozzarella and the remaining cabbage.
