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!

Provided by KWB5015

Categories     Meat

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.

BEER-BRAISED BRATWURST WITH CABBAGE



Beer-Braised Bratwurst with Cabbage image

A basic beer braise gives this quick-cooking bratwurst from Niman Ranch farmer Paul Willis its down-home flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon canola oil
4 bratwurst
1 onion, halved and sliced
1 (12-ounce) bottle pilsner-style beer
1/2 medium head Savoy cabbage, sliced
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish
Skillet Cornbread

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add bratwurst and cook, turning, until browned on all sides. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened. Add beer, cabbage, and tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until cabbage is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with cornbread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, heavy head of cabbage for braising. A green cabbage is the most common type used, but you can also use red or Savoy cabbage.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the beer and other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of beer: You can use any type of beer you like for braising cabbage, but a dark beer will give it a richer flavor. Some good options include stout, porter, or amber ale.
  • Add aromatics: To enhance the flavor of the cabbage, add some aromatics to the pot, such as onions, garlic, celery, and carrots.
  • Season to taste: Once the cabbage is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of vinegar or lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Braised cabbage is best served immediately, while it is still hot and tender.

Conclusion:

Braised cabbage is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, braised cabbage is a great option for busy weeknight dinners.
