Description

This hearty Ground Beef and Chopped Cabbage recipe is a quick and flavorful one-pan meal, featuring tender cabbage cooked with seasoned ground beef and aromatic spices. Perfect for a nutritious weeknight dinner, it combines simple ingredients with a savory broth to create a satisfying, low-carb dish.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean or your preferred choice)
  • 1 small head of cabbage, chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings & Liquids

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional for added flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth (or water)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional for depth of flavor)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat, preparing the base for sautéing the beef and vegetables.
  2. Cook the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain excess grease: Remove any excess grease from the skillet to prevent the dish from being too oily.
  4. Sauté onion and garlic: Add the diced onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
  5. Add cabbage and spices: Stir in the chopped cabbage, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to soften.
  6. Add liquids: Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce (if using), stirring everything together to combine flavors.
  7. Simmer covered: Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
  8. Adjust seasoning: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or soy sauce as desired.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Serve the warm ground beef and cabbage mixture hot for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute beef broth with water or vegetable broth if preferred.
  • For a spicier dish, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and fat content.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
