Method

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened.
Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Stir in rice, diced tomatoes, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Lay a cabbage leaf on a flat surface, place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
