Instructions

  1. Cover the beef with 1" of water and bring to a boil.

  2. Reduce heat to a very slow bubble, and add all but the carrots, cabbage and potatoes.

  3. Cook for 2 hours, turning the beef every 20 minutes or so.

  4. Add boiling water as needed to keep beef covered.

  5. Add the carrots, cabbage, and potatoes after 2 hours.

  6. After 30 minutes, check veggies every 5 minutes or so, and remove when done (soft). Cabbage will likely take longest.

  7. Keep cooking until beef is fork tender on both sides. Could take 3 hours. Could take 4. Don't rush.

  8. Remove beef from broth.
