    1

    Begin by thinly slicing the cabbage and shredding the carrots. Place them in a large bowl.

    2

    In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer until the sugar is dissolved, then pour it over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss well to combine.

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    While the vegetables are marinating, prepare the beef. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until translucent.

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, approximately 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
