Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 head Green cabbage, roughly chopped
• 2 cups White rice, cooked
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and reduce in volume.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat the rice through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm in bowls and enjoy as a hearty meal.
