Vietnamese Beef and Red Cabbage Bowl

A flavorful and colorful dish featuring lean ground beef and fresh vegetables, served in a cabbage bowl with a tangy dressing.

Ingredients

  • red cabbage (1 head)
  • red onion (1 )
  • canola oil (3 tablespoons)
  • lean ground beef (1 pound)
  • red Fresno chile pepper (1 )
  • paprika (2 teaspoons)
  • kosher salt (1 teaspoon)
  • lime juice (2 tablespoons)
  • fish sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • packed brown sugar (1 teaspoon)
  • grated lime zest (0.5 teaspoon)
  • chopped fresh cilantro (0.5 cup)
  • chopped fresh mint (0.25 cup)
  • lime (1 )

Instructions

  1. Cut cabbage in half on a flat work surface. Remove half of the core and most of the interior leaves from one half cabbage to act as a bowl. Thinly slice other half. Finely chop 1/2 red onion; thinly slice other half.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, chopped onion, Fresno chile, paprika, and salt; cook and stir occasionally to break beef up until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime zest together in a small bowl; stir into beef mixture until thoroughly combined.
  4. Transfer beef mixture to cabbage bowl; top with the sliced cabbage, sliced onion, cilantro, and mint. Serve with lime wedges.
