This is a simple recipe to put together for one or two, or you could make it for a crowd… go for it. This is a single pot recipe; however, you could always use your slow cooker, more on that later. This recipe is portioned for one (with leftovers), or two (with nothing left but empty plates). So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

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

    PREP/PREPARE
  • 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.
