Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned. Drain excess fat and transfer to a bowl.
  2. In the same skillet, drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for approximately 5 minutes until it wilts and softens. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.
  4. Return the browned ground beef to the skillet. Stir in soy sauce and apple cider vinegar, mixing until evenly coated. Cook for an additional minute.
  5. Add broth to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is tender and slightly saucy.
  6. Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.
