Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
• 1 small head of green cabbage, chopped

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef:

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside.

1. Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
2. If using, add the canned diced tomatoes (including the liquid) and the beef broth to the skillet.

4. Season and Cook:

1. Stir in the paprika, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

5. Combine and Serve:

1. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir well to combine with the cabbage mixture.
2. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat everything through.
3. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
