Step 1
Blanch the 8 cabbage leaves in boiling water until pliable, about 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup cooked rice, 2 tbsp dill, and 1 tsp salt until combined.
Step 3
Place a scoop of filling on each leaf, fold in sides, and roll up tightly. Place seam-side down in a skillet.
Step 4
Pour 2 cups tomato sauce over the rolls. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the top.
