Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Beef
  • 10 Ounce Cabbage
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Cup Mushrooms
  • 1/2 Cup Tomato Sauce
  • 2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese

Spice Mix:

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare all of the ingredients. Cut meat into small pieces, which will help you to cook the beef fully tender. Slice the cabbage into the thinnest possible slices. Mushrooms should also be cut into small, tiny pieces so they are easily spread over the dish. Add spices all into a bowl for easier cooking. And remember to grain the mozzarella or your favorite cheese with a grater. 
  • Heat the skillet and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add onions and let them caramelize.
  • Once the onions are cooked, add pieces of meat and cook for approximately 10 minutes until all of the sides of the pieces are cooked. 
  • Once the meat is brown from all sides, add mushrooms cut into small pieces and cook for another 5-10 minutes. 
  • When it is time to add spices, switch off the cooking process for this step. Some spices, especially sweet paprika, tend to burn very fast, and when added to cooking meat, they can change the taste. They become bitter. Once you add all the spices, mix them thoroughly into the meat and mushrooms.
  • At the same time, add the tomato sauce and mix thoroughly. There is no need to add any of the liquid, be it water of broth, since cooking this casserole dish for longer, meat and cabbage will add more moisture, which will be enough for the dish. 
  • Now is the time to switch the heat on again. When the meat, spices, and sauce are thoroughly mixed, add top sliced cabbage, cover with the lid, set the cooking to medium-low and let it cook for approximately one hour. Depending on your beef size, you can adjust the cooking time accordingly. 
  • After approximately an hour, mix the cabbage with meat and check if the meat is tender enough. If you are more of a visual person, check out our video with complete steps. 
  • Once all the cabbage is fully mixed with beef, top it up with grated mozzarella and place it into the oven for 10 – 15 minutes. Here, you only need the mozzarella to melt and brown a bit. Watch out; baking cheese can turn beautifully melted to burned in minutes.

Notes

  • Beef Size – Depending on the size of the beef, you can adjust your cooking time. The smaller the pieces – the shorter the cooking time it requires. If you are unsure, check the meat's tenderness before adding the cheese. 
  • Mushrooms – if you do not have fresh, you can also use dried mushrooms.
  • Cheese – I have used mozzarella, but you can choose whatever cheese you like
  • Cheese Grater – Make sure you always buy a whole block of cheese and Grate that at home. First, you will get the freshest grated cheese you can get. Second, most of the already grated cheese in the supermarkets is filled with starches, so the cheese does not get stuck to another
  • Cabbage – Slice it onto the thinnest slices you manage. This will help in taste enormously
  • Spices – My blend is the spices I use the most, but you can experiment with spices you like. 
  • Cheese baking in the oven – be careful and watch it. It can turn from beautifully melted cheese to burned cheese in minutes.
