First, prep all the ingredients before starting the recipe.
Now in a pot, brown the ground beef first. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Remove the cooked ground beef from the pan then add in the diced onion and minced garlic.
Cook until a little browning occurs and the onions and garlic are fragrant. Then, add the ground beef back into the pot.
Next, pour in the sauce then the broth. Bring to a simmer.
Now, add in the brown sugar, rice and lay the cabbage on top. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes. At the 10 minute mark stir the cabbage around then continue cooking.
Lastly once the recipe is finished, squeeze in a lemon then season to taste.
