Steak and cabbage is delicious and simple "humble food" in my opinion - super comforting.

Ingredients
For Beef Skirt Steak:
- ~2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 ½ lb skirt steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce / tamari - regular or gluten free
- 2 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- ½ cup onions, finely diced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Ingredients Cabbage:
- ~ 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 1 head cabbage, roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
Instructions
For Cabbage:
- Bring a large pan or pot to medium high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and throw in diced onions. Cook ~ 4-6 minutes or until translucent.
- Add cabbage and remaining ingredients and stir.
- Reduce heat to low/medium, cover, cook for ~ 45 minutes or until cabbage is wilted and soft. Add a little more oil or water if needed. Stir occasionally.
For Beef Skirt Steak:
- Mix all beef skirt steak ingredients in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Bring a large pan to medium-high heat and coat the bottom with a thin layer of vegetable oil. Add the beef/sauce/onions/garlic and fry for ~ 2-3 minutes.
- Cook in two separate batches if you have a small pan as you want to sear the beef and not steam it. If you cut the beef thin enough, this will be plenty of time to be cooked through.
- Serve beef over cabbage. Add salt to taste.
Notes
- Turn up the heat in the final 5 minutes (watching carefully) if you want your cabbage to caramelize and turn brownish.

These are all delicious, and with the exception of the Steak Tacos, pretty hardy. The Steak Tacos are a great summer recipe!
I prepared this recipe as written. I stir fried the beef first (then what???). I set it aside, off heat. Then I prepared the cabbage. At the last 5 minutes, I reheated the steak. This did not turn out well.
Thank you for the comment Cheryl. I will rewrite the recipe to cook the cabbage first since that takes the longest. Did you use skirt steak for this recipe? It only takes a couple minutes to cook. Please let me know what cut of beef you used and what part did not turn out well. Thank you, Beckie
