Prepare the Ingredients:

Start by chopping the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, grating or julienning the carrot, and dicing the onion. Set aside all the vegetables.

Cook the Ground Beef:

In a spacious skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil on medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set the beef aside on a plate.

Sauté the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, drizzle in an additional tablespoon of oil. Sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the grated carrot and chopped cabbage to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage starts to soften.

Combine and Season:

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add the tomato sauce or paste and the beef broth, stirring well to combine. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.

Simmer:

Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little more broth as needed.

Adjust and Serve:

Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or paprika if needed. Serve hot as a standalone meal, or pair it with crusty bread or steamed rice for a more filling option.
