Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for sautéing.
- Cook onion: Add diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid browning too much.
- Brown beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even cooking and no large clumps remain.
- Add seasonings: Stir in minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the beef.
- Add cabbage and broth: Mix in the chopped cabbage and pour in the beef broth to provide moisture for cooking the cabbage.
- Simmer: Cover the skillet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.

Notes
