Description

A hearty and flavorful beef and cabbage dish that is easy to prepare and perfect for a weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion, diced or 1 small yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (if sensitive to salt, start with ½ tsp, more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup long grain white rice (I use jasmine rice)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 6 cups shredded green cabbage (about ½ head of cabbage)
  • squeeze fresh lemon (about ½ a large lemon)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or saute pan on medium heat. Add olive oil until hot. Add onion and saute until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds and then add the ground beef and seasonings. Break apart the beef with a wooden spoon or masher. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and almost cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Then stir in the tomato paste.
  3. Add the crushed tomatoes (no need to drain), uncooked rice, cabbage, and beef broth. Give it a stir to make sure everything is well combined. Bring everything to a boil. Reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally. Cooking times will vary depending on your pan and stovetop.
  4. Turn off the heat, give it a stir, and add extra broth if needed. Add the lemon juice and fresh parsley. Give it a taste and add salt to taste.
  5. Hint: If you want to use minute rice instead, you only need to let the cabbage and tomato mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes and add the minute rice in the last 1-2 minutes. If using brown rice, cook the rice separately and add it to the mixture in the same way as minute rice.

Notes

  • If using minute rice, reduce simmer time.
  • If using brown rice, cook separately and add later.
