Ingredients
- 8 large green cabbage leaves (from 1 head)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 large bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound skirt steak, thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese
How to Make It
- In a large pot of boiling water, blanch cabbage leaves for 30 seconds. Place on a paper towel–lined plate to dry.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onion and bell peppers, season with oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add steak in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook until seared on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Return onion and peppers to the skillet and toss to combine. Top with provolone slices, cover skillet, and cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
- Place a scoop of the steak mixture onto the center of a cabbage leaf. Fold the short end over the mixture, then roll up like a burrito with an open end. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
Storage & Meal Prep
- 🧊 Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- 🔥 Reheat: Warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
- ❄️ Freeze: Not recommended, as cabbage may become soggy upon thawing.
