How To Make beef essentials: low and slow beef and cabbage

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Cooking Tips: I am making this in the oven; however, you could just as easily make this in your slow cooker; especially, if you are making a bigger batch. For example, instead of a chuck steak, you purchase a chuck roast (2 – 2.5 pounds). Just double all the ingredients, and throw it in the slow cooker for about 8 hours. Shred the beef, add the cabbage, and there you go.

  Step 3
  Equipment Essentials: To make this recipe, as written, you will need a small ovenproof saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid.
