Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
- 1/2 head green cabbage, core removed and chopped into bite sized pieces (about 5 cups)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, crumble it with a spatula, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics and Cabbage: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add diced onion and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped cabbage, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add tomato sauce, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Serve this flavorful skillet dish over rice or egg noodles as desired.
Notes
- Leftovers will keep refrigerated for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Use low sodium beef broth to control the salt content.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give the dish a spicy kick if desired.
