Place a pan over medium-high flame.

After 2 minutes, check the minced meat; it should be ready for the next step.

Add chopped onion, 1 seasoning cube, paprika, and black pepper to the pan.

Cook the onions for around 1 minute, breaking down the seasoning cube with the spatula.

Add 1 large tomato to the pan and cook for around 1 minute until cooked through.

Add more salt to fully season the dish.

If not using a beef seasoning cube, ensure to add enough salt for seasoning.

If using fatty minced meat, reduce the amount of cooking oil used.

If the pan is drying out, add a splash of water to prevent burning.

After around 3 minutes on low flame, check the minced meat; it should be cooked to perfection with the tomatoes cooked through.

Add shredded cabbage to the pan, ensuring not to cover it to avoid steaming.

Stir in the cabbage with a spatula as it cooks for around 2 minutes until wilted and absorbing flavors.

Once the cabbage has wilted down, garnish with a generous amount of coriander.

Turn off the flame and serve the sautéed cabbage with ugali, rice, or chapati.
