In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and bell peppers. Season with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through and and vegetables are soft and slightly golden.
Add chopped cabbage, tomatoes, stock, bay leaf, dill, paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered for 45 minutes, or until cabbage is just tender.
