INGREDIENTS

- 1-1/4 lb lean beef stew meat (trimmed of fat), cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1-1/2 cup water
- 3/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 small head red cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
- 1/4 cup crushed gingersnaps

DIRECTIONS

Brown stew meat in oil in a heavy skillet. Remove beef stew meat and
saute onion in remaining oil until golden. Return meat to skillet.
Add water, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1-1/4 hours.

Add vinegar and sugar; stir. Place cabbage on top of meat. Cover
and simmer 45 minutes more.

Arrange meat and cabbage on a platter and keep warm. Strain
drippings and skim off fat. Add enough water to drippings to
yield 1 cup of liquid. Return to skillet with gingersnap crumbs.
Cook and stir until thickened and mixture boils. Serve with meat
and vegetables.
