How to Make Beef And Cabbage Stew

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, and brown on all sides for about 6 minutes. Remove beef from pot and set aside.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped; 2 carrots, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary; 1 bay leaf; and 4 cups beef broth to the pot.
  4. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the beef is very tender.
  6. Add 1 medium head of cabbage (about 2 lbs), shredded; 1/2 cup raisins; 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar; and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  7. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (salt and pepper to taste).
  8. Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
