Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing a large skillet over medium-high heat and adding a drizzle of oil. Allow the oil to shimmer for about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, using a spatula to break it apart into smaller pieces. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and tender.
  4. Mix in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste, letting it cook for 1-2 minutes until it darkens slightly.
  6. Season your mixture with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cumin or chili flakes to taste, allowing the spices to meld.
  7. Toss in the chopped cabbage and stir thoroughly to coat with the beef mixture. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted.
  8. Add the beef broth to the skillet and stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat if necessary, and cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  9. Give the dish a final stir to ensure everything is well combined and heated through. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
