Description
A colorful and flavorful southern fried cabbage dish that elevates your meals with a rich seasoning profile and tender cabbage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small to medium head of green cabbage, sliced thinly
- 1 cup of beef, chopped or ground
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil or beef fat
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Heat your olive oil or beef fat in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the beef, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Toss in the sliced onions and cook until they start to turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Next, stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Let it sizzle for about 30 seconds.
- Add the sliced cabbage, seasoning with salt and pepper. Mix everything well, letting the cabbage wilt down (about 5-7 minutes).
- Splash in the apple cider vinegar. Stir and help the cabbage absorb that tangy magic. Cook for another couple of minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
