Tangy Beef and Cabbage Recipe
What’s needed?
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 large yellow onions, sliced (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 medium head of cabbage, sliced (about 4 cups)

How to make Tangy Beef and Cabbage?
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Pour the canola oil on the bottom and sides of the slow cooker. Add the sliced onions.
- Add the sliced cabbage to the slow cooker, sprinkle with salt and pepper, one teaspoon each. Pour in one bottle of beer.

- Place the beef roast on top of the cabbage. Sprinkle it with a grilling seasoning blend. Anything you would rub or sprinkle on a steak when you are grilling will work well. To finish, add about 1/4 cup of yellow mustard on top of the roast.
- Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low heat for about 7-8 hours. I made this before work and it was ready when I got home.
- Shred the beef with a fork and mix it with the cooked cabbage and onions underneath. The smell is heavenly. And you won’t believe the flavor packed into this dish.

You can serve the beef and cabbage with noodles and a side salad OR put hearty portions on crusty onion rolls and serve it with fresh veggies and dip. It’s the perfect sandwich while you are watching a basketball game. Oh, and don’t forget a tall, cold glass of beer. Enjoy this one and add it to your collection of Best Slow-Cooker Recipes!
