This classic German stew is made with lean trimmed beef stew meat and cabbage.
1-1/4 lb lean beef stew meat (trimmed of fat), cut in 1-inch pieces
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1-1/2 C water
3/4 tsp caraway seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
1/4 C white vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 small head red cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
1/4 C crushed gingersnaps
Brown meat in oil in a heavy skillet. Remove meat and sauté onion in remaining
oil until golden. Return meat to skillet. Add water, caraway seeds, salt,
pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1-1/4
hours. Add vinegar and sugar; stir. Place cabbage on top of meat. Cover and
simmer 45 minutes more. Arrange meat and cabbage on a platter and keep warm.
Strain drippings and skim off fat. Add enough water to drippings to yield
1 cup of liquid. Return to skillet with gingersnap crumbs. Cook and stir until
thickened and mixture boils. Serve with meat and vegetables.
