How to Make Spicy Sauteed Cabbage

  1. Cut the cabbage into 1-inch cubes, separating the leaves as much as possible for even cooking.
  2. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the cabbage to the hot pan. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon steak seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
  4. Sauté the cabbage for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover with a lid.
  6. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the cabbage to soften and absorb the liquid.
  7. Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is deeply browned and tender. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  8. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Remove from heat and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) before serving.
