A cozy, hands-on skillet meal featuring ground beef and cabbage, creating a savory one-pan dinner that’s budget-friendly and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef
  • 1 small head cabbage, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
  2. Break the meat apart with a spatula and cook until there is no pink left.
  3. Tilt the pan and spoon out excess fat, or carefully blot with a paper towel.
  4. Push the beef to one side, add the olive oil if the pan is dry, then add the chopped onion.
  5. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to release aroma.
  6. Stir in the chopped cabbage, then pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices.
  7. Add the beef broth and soy sauce, followed by paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  8. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
  9. Let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cabbage is tender and some liquid has reduced.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning, then remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley if using. Serve straight from the skillet while hot.

Notes

Use a medium to large head of cabbage for more bulk. For a lower-sodium version, use low-sodium beef broth and reduced-sodium soy sauce, then adjust salt at the end.
