Tangy Beef and Cabbage Recipe

What’s needed?

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

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.
Add beer to slow cooker.

  • 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.
