Instructions
Braised beef
- Prepare your beef. If it is in pieces then pop it straight into the slow cooker. If it is a roast with string, remove the string before placing it in the slow cooker. The beef does not require browning beforehand for this dish.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Set your slow cooker for 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low. In the final half an hour, prepare the cabbage.
- Steam or boil the sliced cabbage until fork-tender, depending on your preference.
- In a separate pot, melt the butter and add the thyme and parsley.
- Once your cabbage is fork-tender, drain it and combine it with the melted butter, thyme, and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss to coat the cabbage and then serve alongside the braised beef.
