- 1 small head green cabbage (about 2 lb), cored and thinly sliced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or wide Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains at the center, about 7–8 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Transfer the beef to a plate, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion to the same pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute — watch closely so it doesn't brown.
