Description
A quick and delicious Cabbage and Ground Beef Skillet recipe perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 700 g green cabbage, chopped
- 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 120 ml beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Add the olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the chopped cabbage and sliced carrot. Toss everything together and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have come together.
- Taste and add more salt, pepper, or Worcestershire sauce if desired.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the cabbage if you prefer some texture. Cook it just until tender-crisp for the best flavor and bite.
- Optional: Add ½ tsp smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.
- Stir in cooked rice for a heartier meal.
- Add sliced bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt.
- Use ground turkey or pork instead of beef.
