Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 56 cups green cabbage, chopped
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 teaspoons white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Mix in the chopped cabbage and cook for 5 minutes to begin softening it.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, paprika, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
  5. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes until cabbage is tender.
  6. Uncover, taste the broth, and stir in vinegar and sugar. Simmer another 10 minutes uncovered to thicken if needed.
  7. Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve hot with bread or sour cream.
