Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons optional: chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, until fully browned. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir and let it cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage becomes tender. Remove the cabbage mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the now-empty skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the roux is lightly golden.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken to a gravy-like consistency (about 3-4 minutes).
Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, stirring it into the gravy. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve the hamburger gravy over the sautéed cabbage. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
