Ingredients

• 500 g Beef (sirloin, chuck, or stew meat), cut into bite-sized pieces
• 400 g Green cabbage, shredded
• 4 medium Tomatoes, diced
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Olive oil or vegetable oil
• 250 ml Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large deep skillet or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Season the beef pieces with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the beef to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, searing all sides until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften and becomes slightly tender.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the skillet, and stir to combine with the cabbage mixture.

Step 7

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the dish is too thick, you can add a little more beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles.
