Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef

• 1 small head of cabbage, chopped

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cook the Ground Beef:
   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

3. Add the Cabbage:
   Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook until it begins to wilt, about 5 minutes.

4. Simmer:
   Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and beef broth. Add the dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

5. Cook Until Tender:
   Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer over low heat for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.

6. Serve:
   Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
