Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 11¼ oz beef chuck
  • 7 oz green cabbage
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 3½ oz yellow onion
  • 1⅛ tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ cups vegetable broth
  • 0.6 g black pepper
  • 3 g ground cumin
  • 1.6 g kosher salt
  • 4 g fresh sage

Steps

  1. Pat 11¼ oz beef chuck dry and salt it. Heat 1⅛ tbsp olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef chuck on all sides. Move it to a plate.
  2. Lower the heat. Cook 3½ oz yellow onion and 7 oz green cabbage with a pinch of salt until the onion softens, about 6 minutes. Add 2 garlic cloves and 3 g ground cumin and stir for 30 seconds.
  3. Return the beef chuck and any juices. Add the vegetable broth and 4 g fresh sage. The liquid should come about halfway up the main ingredient. Add a splash of water if it does not.
  4. Cover and simmer gently until the beef chuck is fork-tender, about 150 minutes. Target temperature: fork-tender, well above 71°C / 160°F. If the sauce is thin, uncover it for the last 10 minutes. Taste for salt. Discard bay leaves before serving.
