Instructions

1
Pat beef stew meat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove browned beef to a plate and set aside.
2
Reduce heat to medium, add chopped onion to the pot, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add tomato paste, dried thyme, and caraway seeds, stirring for 1 minute to toast the spices.
3
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in beef broth and water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
4
Add carrots and potatoes to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are nearly tender. Stir in the cabbage wedges and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still has a slight bite.
5
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the hearty beef and cabbage stew into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different cuts of beef?

Yes, beef chuck roast is ideal for stewing due to its marbling and tenderness when slow-cooked. You can also use beef round or brisket, but chuck roast yields the best results.

How can I thicken the stew if it's too thin?

You can create a slurry by mixing 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water. Stir this mixture into the simmering stew and cook for a few minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Can this stew be made in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can brown the beef and sauté the onions/garlic on the stovetop first for flavor, then transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, adding the cabbage in the last hour of cooking.
