GROUND BEEF AND CABBAGE



Ground Beef and Cabbage image

My mother was a country cook, plain and simple. But as I have traveled and worked and experienced foods from around the world, I look back and realize that many of the dishes she prepared, while simple, were perfect for that moment. Sometimes we have to put emotion and love in a dish to make it extra-special. The dish I am going to give you today is one like that. Simple and easy, yet full of love and goodness. My mother used to serve this with corn on the cob and cornbread. Very inexpensive and very good as well. Enjoy an Ozark memory...

Grilled Cabbage Steaks with Cilantro-Lime Sauce image

These smoky cabbage steaks make a hearty side dish, but they're also substantial enough to serve as a vegetarian main dish if you add a grain or some beans. Our easy herb sauce made in the blender is light, bright and very versatile. If you have any leftover, it can serve as a salad dressing or a drizzle for other grilled foods.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups lightly packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1 medium jalapeño, stemmed and coarsely chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons juice)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 medium head savoy cabbage
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups of the cilantro, 1 1/2 cups of the parsley, the garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend on high until smooth. With the blender running, drizzle in the oil in a slow stream to make a very smooth sauce. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with more salt, if needed.
  • Remove any loose leaves from the exterior of the cabbage and set it on its stem end. Cut a thin piece off one side of the cabbage to make it flat; then slice a thin piece off the other side of the cabbage. (Reserve the pieces for another use.) Slice the cabbage vertically to make 4 thick steaks, each about 3/4- to 1-inch thick.
  • Lay the steaks on a baking sheet and stick a skewer horizontally through any that are not holding together. Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil and sprinkle with the lime zest, ancho powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Grill the steaks, covered, moving them occasionally so they cook evenly, until charred and crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, brush the tops lightly with olive oil and remove any skewers you used.
  • Coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/2 cup parsley. Drizzle about half of the sauce over the cabbage. Sprinkle with the herbs and red onion and serve the remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm, green cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the cabbage properly: To prepare the cabbage, remove the outer leaves and cut the cabbage into quarters. Then, remove the core from each quarter and thinly slice the cabbage.
  • Use a flavorful meat sauce: The meat sauce is what really brings this dish together, so be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy. You can use your own homemade sauce or a store-bought sauce.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: Cabbage can easily become overcooked and mushy, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Cook the cabbage until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Serve immediately: Cabbage with meat sauce is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the cabbage is still tender and the sauce is still hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cabbage with meat sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and meat, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
