Easy Curry Beef & Cabbage

Serves 3–4Prep 5 minutesCook About 20 minutesGFPaleo

This easy one-pan dish bakes ground beef under a layer of cabbage with warm curry spices. The beef cooks in a little water, creating a light broth that the cabbage absorbs as it softens. It's simple, cozy, and surprisingly flavorful.

Ingredients

  • —1 lb ground beef
  • —1½ cups water
  • —1 heaping teaspoon curry powder
  • —2–3 cups chopped green cabbage
  • —1 tablespoon olive oil
  • —½ teaspoon sea salt
  • —¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • —½ teaspoon curry powder (for the cabbage)

Directions

  1. 1.Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. 2.In an oven-safe skillet or pan, add the ground beef and water.
  3. 3.Break up the beef with a spoon or fork and mix it into the water.
  4. 4.Season the beef mixture with curry powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. 5.Spread the chopped cabbage evenly over the top of the beef.
  6. 6.Drizzle the cabbage lightly with olive oil and season with a little more curry powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. 7.Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and lightly browned on top.
  8. 8.Remove from the oven and stir everything together so the cabbage absorbs the flavorful broth.

Notes

Any oven-safe skillet or baking dish will work. Cast iron works especially well.

The dish will have a light curry broth after baking, which the cabbage absorbs when stirred.

Serving Suggestion

  1. Serve as is, or with rice if you want something to soak up the broth.
