A quick and easy low-carb skillet meal combining ground beef and tender cabbage, seasoned perfectly for a comforting keto-friendly dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about half a medium head)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: shred 4 cups of green cabbage, dice one medium yellow onion, and mince three garlic cloves (about 10 minutes).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Let it sear undisturbed for a couple of minutes to develop a crust, then stir occasionally, breaking up the meat until fully browned and no pink remains (6-7 minutes).
  4. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Add shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine with beef and onions. Pour in 1/4 cup beef broth, cover with a lid, and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring halfway through, until cabbage is tender but still slightly crunchy.
  6. Remove the lid, stir well, and adjust seasoning if needed. If the skillet seems dry, add a splash more broth or oil.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped chives and serve hot directly from the pan.

Notes

If cabbage releases too much water, increase heat and cook uncovered briefly to evaporate excess moisture to avoid sogginess. Use fresh cabbage for best texture. Adding garlic after onions prevents burning. Shredding cabbage in a food processor saves prep time. Worcestershire sauce adds umami depth; check label for gluten if sensitive.
