Sometimes, when I’m lucky, a friend will share the bounty of their garden. When this happens I have the privilege of planning a menu that is inspired by their fresh ingredient, in this case cabbage.
Cabbage is so versatile that you can use it for many menu options but…this classic recipe has always been one of my family’s favorites. I can remember my grandparents relishing this “treat” when I was my Max’s age. Grandma Walton still makes this one pot dinner whenever she wants to feed a crowd.

Place lid on the pot and bring to a boil then turn down the heat and allow it to simmer for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender. Remove meat from pot and cover with foil. Remove carrots and onions to serving plate.
Cut cabbage in half, then quarter each half. Add this to the pot and its remaining liquid. Bring to a boil and allow it to simmer until cabbage is cooked to the desired tenderness. Unwrap beef and cut it against the grain, serve at once with the cooked vegetables and chive cream sauce.
