Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 1 small head green cabbage, chopped
- 2 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, cabbage, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften the vegetables slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
Season the stew with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the bay leaf for extra flavor.
Bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
Taste the stew and adjust seasonings if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your cozy bowl of Ground Beef Cabbage Stew!
