Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef along with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, toss in the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the carrot, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

Mix in the Sauce: Add the tomato sauce or paste and the broth. Stir and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Combine with Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir and cover. Simmer for 5-8 minutes until cabbage is tender.

Final Touches: Return cooked beef to the skillet and stir everything together. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs. Serve hot.
