- Add enough beef broth or water to cover the meat completely.5-6 cups beef broth
- Place on the stove and bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the meat cook in the simmering liquid for about 2 1/2 hours.
- Add the carrots and potatoes, making sure to move the meat if necessary so the vegetables can cook in the liquid. If needed, add an additional 2 cups of hot water to the cooking liquid. Continue to cook for 30 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are tender.1 1/2 pounds carrots, 2 pounds small red potatoes
- Add the cabbage wedges, pushing them down into the cooking liquid, and cook for 15 minutes longer.1 large head green cabbage
- Remove the meat, potatoes, and vegetables from the pot. Slice the meat into thin slices against the grain, then serve on a large platter surrounded by the boiled potatoes, carrots and cabbage.
Notes
- You can use just water instead of the beef broth, or water with 5-6 teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon Beef Base.
- I like to splash a little vinegar on my cabbage before eating it, and I serve the meat with a simple whole grain mustard for extra flavor.
