Method

  1. 1

    Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium‑high heat, adding half of the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper; cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, cooking for about 1 minute to develop flavor.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped cabbage, chicken bone broth, and the remaining smoked paprika, salt, and pepper; cover the skillet and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Uncover the skillet, add the diced green and red bell peppers, and continue cooking for another 5–7 minutes until all vegetables are tender.

  6. 6

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and drizzle each serving with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
