Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully peel the cabbage leaves, keeping them intact. Blanch the leaves in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Remove and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a uniform filling.
Trim the thick stem from the base of each cabbage leaf to make it easier to roll.
Place a small amount of the beef mixture (about 2 tablespoons) at the base of a cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the skillet, working in batches if needed. Sear the rolls for 2-3 minutes per side to lock in the flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Stir well to create a thin sauce.
Place the seared cabbage rolls in a large baking dish, in a single layer. Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the rolls, ensuring they are mostly covered.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 80-90 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is fully cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the cabbage rolls rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with extra sauce from the dish.
