Chef tips
For a deeper flavor, make sure to sear the beef chunks well on all sides before adding the cabbage. Since cabbage releases a lot of liquid, start with a modest amount of water and adjust as needed. For a refreshing twist, add a squeeze of lemon juice and a tablespoon of silan (date syrup) at the end. This stew is delicious served over white rice or creamy mashed potatoes.
