👩🍳 What You’ll Need:
✓ 2 ½ pounds chuck roast cubed
✓ 2 teaspoon salt
✓ 1 teaspoon pepper
✓ 2 tablespoons flour
✓ 2 tablespoons olive oil
✓ 1 large onion diced
✓ 4 ribs celery chopped
✓ 4 carrots chopped in ½ inch pieces
✓ 4 cloves garlic minced
✓ 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices, 1 can
✓ 2 tablespoons tomato paste
✓ ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
✓ ½ teaspoon dried oregano
✓ 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
✓ 2 bay leaves
✓ ½ fresh cabbage chopped
4 potatoes peeled and diced ½ inch
✓ 1 tablespoons paprika
🍲 Steps:
cut the meat into cubes, about ¾ inch (2 cm) in size. Add salt and pepper, and mix well, then slowly add the flour, stirring bit by bit to coat the meat evenly. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil, and add the meat in small batches so that each piece touches the bottom of the pot. Fry for about a minute, then flip to the other side, so all sides get browned. Remove the meat with tongs, leaving the oil and juices in the pot. Add more oil if needed, then add the chopped onion and mix it well with the oil, scraping the bottom of the pot to incorporate everything with the onion. Sauté until the onion softens.
Add 5 finely chopped garlic cloves, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, and tomato paste (also known as tomato purée), and stir everything well. Add the chopped tomatoes and their juice from the can, stir again, then add 6 cups (1.5 liters) of beef or chicken broth, and finally, return the browned meat to the pot. Add the 2 bay leaves. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Peel the carrots, trim the ends, and slice them into rounds about ¼ inch (½ cm) thick. I like to cook the cabbage with potatoes, but you can leave out the potatoes if you prefer. I have thin-skinned potatoes, but if you have other types, peel them first, then cut them into small cubes, about ¾ inch (1-2 cm). Finely chop the celery. For the cabbage, first remove and discard the core, then chop it into strips about 1 inch (2 cm) wide.
Once the meat is tender, add all the vegetables to the pot. Don’t worry if it looks crowded; the cabbage will soften and shrink. Stir everything well, cover, increase the heat, and cook for another 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. And that’s it, it’s ready! Remove the pot from the stove, discard the bay leaves, and taste to adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
If you could smell this right now, I guarantee you’d be making it immediately. Ladle it into bowls, filling them with this wonderful sweet cabbage. Enjoy!
