EASY One-Pan Beef + Cabbage Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 sweet yellow onion diced
  • 1 large green bell pepper diced
  • 2/3 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 large head green cabbage chopped thinly
  • 1 14.5-oz jar diced tomatoes with juices
  • 2 Tbsps apple cider vinegar
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • a small handful of fresh chopped parsley or Italian parsley chopped to garnish

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add in your ground beef and cook until nicely browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain the excess fat and return the skillet to the stovetop.
  • Add in diced onion, bell pepper, garlic, paprika, oregano, a pinch of sea salt and pepper to taste, then cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the cabbage, tomatoes with their juices and your apple cider vinegar.
  • Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the cabbage is soft, about 15-18 minutes.
  • Stir the ingredients every 5 minutes or so, also making sure it has enough liquid. Add a splash of water or beef stock if it get's too dry. Keep covered during cooking time.
  • Once cabbage is cooked to your liking (tender and slightly crisp) remove from heat.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot!
  • Makes for an EXCELLENT food prep idea!
  • I like to double or triple the recipe at night for dinner, then dish up remaining servings into sealed glass containers set in the fridge for 3-4 days.
