Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium head of cabbage, sliced thin
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Start by thinly slicing the cabbage and chopping the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Having all ingredients prepped makes cooking smoother and faster.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary, then remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to turn golden brown and caramelize, approximately 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add the smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well to incorporate the spices evenly. Pour in the apple cider vinegar for a touch of tang and flavor enhancement.
- Lower the heat and let everything simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making your Savory Ground Beef Dish truly delicious.
