Start by chopping the onion and garlic; peel and slice the carrots.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Crumble in the ground beef and cook until browned.

Stir in the cabbage and carrots next. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Let your mixture simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra flavor boost.
