Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Sauté the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the ground beef (or pork) to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is softened and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming off any excess dough around the edges.
Spoon the meat and cabbage mixture into the pie shell, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with milk (if using) to make an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust for a golden finish.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cooked through.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
