Then add a good dash of rapeseed, sunflower or olive oil and mix everything together well until all the ingredients and the spices are evenly distributed.

When that’s done, heat a large pan without oil or fat, add the meat in portions to the pan & sear on all sides for 4 – 5 minutes, then lift out of the pan & set aside. Meanwhile, cut the cabbage into thin strips.

Place the meat pan back on the stove over medium heat, add the cabbage strips to the pan, season with a good pinch of salt & pepper & sweat, turning occasionally, until the cabbage starts to lose water.
