Ingredients
16 ounces smoked beef kielbasa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add sliced beef sausage and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned.
Remove sausage from the pan and set aside.
Lower heat to medium and add butter and onions to the skillet; sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
Add thinly sliced cabbage and cook uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often until tender-crisp and golden.
Stir in minced garlic and paprika.
Return the sausage to the pan and toss everything together for 2 minutes to heat through.
Notes
Substitute butter with additional olive oil for a dairy-free option. For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes during the final cooking stage. Ensure the cabbage is thinly sliced to cook evenly.
