Follow The Directions

01

Step
15 mins

Prepare the Cabbage and Onion: On a flat surface, halve the red cabbage. Carve out the core and inner leaves from one half to form a natural bowl. Finely slice the remaining cabbage half. Mince half of the red onion, and thinly slice the other half. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

Sauté the Beef: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, minced onion, Fresno chile, paprika, and salt. Cook, breaking the beef apart, until browned and crumbly. (Cook time: 7-10 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Create the Vietnamese Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime zest. Pour this vibrant dressing over the beef mixture, stirring to combine. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Assemble and Serve: Transfer the beef mixture into the cabbage bowl. Garnish with sliced cabbage, sliced onion, fresh cilantro, and mint. Serve immediately with lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus. (Assembly time: 5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of sriracha to the beef mixture.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the Fresno chile before slicing.
Jasmine rice and crispy spring rolls make excellent accompaniments to this dish.
Fresh herbs are key to the authentic Vietnamese flavor. Don't skimp on the cilantro and mint!
