1. In a cast iron skillet, combine diced potatoes, shredded cabbage, onion, and garlic with two tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mixture starts to brown. Transfer the cooked vegetables from the pan and incorporate ground sirloin into the mix.
2. Ensure thorough cooking, then introduce tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, potatoes, cabbage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Pour in 1⁄2 cup of water, bringing it to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes to soften the potatoes. Stir periodically to prevent burning. Once the meat mixture is fully cooked and seasoned to your preference, allow it to cool.
