Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb ground beef
Vegetables
- 1/2 head cabbage, chopped (about 4 cups)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Add Aromatics and Cabbage: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, stirring for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the chopped cabbage on top.
- Cook Until Tender: Stir the mixture occasionally and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage becomes tender and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
- You can add seasonings like paprika, cumin, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Using a lid while cooking the cabbage helps it soften faster by trapping steam.
- This dish pairs well with rice, potatoes, or crusty bread.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
