Ingredients
1 lb (450g) ground beef (you can use lean or regular)
1 medium head of cabbage (about 2 lbs/900g), chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz/410g) diced tomatoes (with juices)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional, for a smoky flavor)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
1/4 cup (60ml) beef broth or water (optional, for extra moisture)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the Ground Beef:
Heat a large skillet or pot: Over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, stirring frequently. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat: If there is a lot of fat in the skillet, drain most of it, leaving a small amount to cook the vegetables. If your beef is lean, you might need to add a tablespoon of olive oil at this point.
