Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the ground beef with a bit of salt and pepper, then cook it in the hot pan, breaking it up and stirring occasionally until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 5 minutes. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking everything together until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the tomato sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce, and give it a good stir to combine all those flavors. Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, then bring everything to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and let it cook until the cabbage is tender, around 20 minutes. Serve the stir-fry over some rice and top with a dollop of sour cream if you like.
