Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil ½ yellow onion diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 pound lean ground beef (90–93%) Kosher salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 2 teaspoons dried oregano ½ small green cabbage, chopped (about 3 cups) ½ cup fresh dill, chopped (including stems) Juice from ½ lemon Cooked long-grain white or brown rice, for serving

Method
 

  1. Cook the Aromatics:Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4–6 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Brown the Beef:Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cook undisturbed for 3–5 minutes to develop a crust, then break it apart and stir until browned.
  3. Add Seasoning and Cabbage:Sprinkle in dried oregano and add the chopped cabbage. Stir to combine, then cover and cook until the cabbage wilts, stirring occasionally. If there’s excess liquid, uncover and simmer for a few extra minutes to reduce it.
  4. Finish the Dish:Remove from heat and stir in the chopped dill and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5.  
  6. Serve:Spoon over bowls of cooked rice and top with extra black pepper if desired.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, skip the rice or serve over cauliflower rice.
  • You can swap fresh dill for parsley or mint for a different herb profile.
  • Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and tang.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2–3 days—great for meal prep.
