 Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef or thinly sliced beef sirloin
• 1 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced (as noodle substitute)
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp butter (unsalted preferred)
• 1 cup beef broth (preferably homemade or low-sodium)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley

 Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or sliced sirloin. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Once fully cooked, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

2. Sauté the Cabbage and Aromatics

In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Add in the sliced cabbage and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is soft and lightly caramelized. This step mimics the texture of noodles while infusing flavor.

3. Simmer with Broth and Combine

Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let the cabbage absorb the flavors for 2–3 minutes, then return the cooked beef to the pan. Stir well to combine.

4. Add the Creamy Goodness

Reduce heat to low and gently stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until the sauce becomes rich and creamy. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.

5. Final Touches

Taste and adjust salt and pepper. For extra flavor, consider a pinch of smoked paprika or a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

 Tips for Best Results:

• Slice cabbage thinly to create a “noodle-like” texture.
• Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest sauce.
