P's crock pot borscht

Cabbage – I used 2 bags of cabbage chopped in strips from the freezer. Probably 3 cups. Let thaw ahead
of time
Stewing beef – I used one bag from the freezer probably around 1 lb. Let thaw ahead of time
2 T Butter

Melt butter in pan. Caramelize cabbage. This will take a while. Then, pulse in food processor until small pieces.

Sear stewing beef and chop into small pieces. Put stewing beef and cabbage in crock pot with four cups
of beef broth. Cook on low for 3 hours.

Add can of diced tomatoes (796mL can) and a can of tomato paste. If you are adding chopped potatoes
and/or carrots do this now. Cook on high for 4 hours

Add 1 T of white vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and dill. My diced tomatoes were Italian seasoned. Not sure how this impacted the overall flavour.
