Braised Beef and Cabbage image

When I wasn't looking, the butcher wrapped up a lump of meat that looked like a lawnmover had run over it. Lacking the language skills to try to complain or exchange it, I did this with it and my husband couldn't rave enough over how good it was!

Time 3h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 -2 lb beef, cubed
1/2 medium cabbage, coarsely chopped
3 onions, sliced
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
sour cream (optional)
feta cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the beef cubes (mine were pretty small, maybe 1/2") with salt and pepper and brown in batches in oil over medium-high heat. Be sure to leave enough space between the beef chunks so that they actually brown and don't steam/boil when they release their liquid.
  • In the bottom of an oven proof lidded glass or ceramic baking dish (or a crockpot), layer onion and cabbage and top with beef. Repeat layering, finishing with beef.
  • Open the tomatoes use them and the liquid with them to deglaze the pan in which the meat was browned. Break up the tomatoes while you do this.
  • Pour contents of the pan over the layered meat, cabbage, and onions.
  • Cover the pot and place in a slow oven (about 200-250 degrees F) for about 2 hours.
  • Check meat for tenderness and serve or continue cooking until tender.
  • Serve with sour cream or feta cheese.
