Brown the meats and sauté aromatics: In a large sauté pan or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the pan. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Build the sauce: Stir the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce into the meat and vegetable mixture. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to deepen the flavor of the tomato paste. Pour in the chicken bone broth. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the pan, mixing well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Cook the cabbage: Carefully add the cabbage wedges or steaks to the pan, nestling them into the meat and sauce mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the cabbage to cook, stirring occasionally and gently turning the cabbage, for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage has softened and cooked down to your desired tenderness.

Finish and serve: Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve the Viral Dirty Cabbage hot, optionally with cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
