This beef stew with cabbage is a hearty recipe for cold evenings.

Beef Stew Recipe with Cabbage
This is the first recipe that I created on my own. As a teenager, I lived with my Dad and he and I would take turns cooking. He always improvised and I tended to rely on family recipes and prepackaged mixes. My dad kept encouraging me to take chances and experiment. One day I had some leftover cabbage from making Bierocks and I decided to follow my Dad’s advice and made this hearty stew.

Stretch Your Stew Meat with this Tip:

Stew meat often comes in rather big chunks. To add a robust meaty flavor without adding tons of meat I use kitchen scissors to cut each chunk into several small pieces.

I brown the onion with the meat so I don’t have to add any oil to the soup. Even though I use meat that has the fat trimmed, there is still enough to brown the onion.

This soup is hearty enough to serve on its own, but I often serve it with Bierocks or a garden salad.

I still prefer my Dad’s cooking to any other, but since I live several states away I am thankful that he encouraged me to learn to be creative in the kitchen. Who has inspired you to be a better cook?

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
