Steamed Cabbage
makes 8 servings
1 head of cabbage
3 cups water, beef broth or corned beef drippings
3 Tbsp melted butter
Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper
Rinse & core the cabbage. Cut it into 10 wedges, trimming, if desired. Place the water, the broth or the corned beef drippings in the bottom of the steamer pot. Bring to a boil over Medium-High heat. Meanwhile, arrange the cabbage wedges in layers in the steamer insert. Once the liquid is simmering, top with the filled insert & cover. Reduce the heat to just above the low setting & steam 15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender with a slight toothsome texture. Remove from the heat. Divide the cabbage between plates, drizzle with the melted butter & season with salt & pepper. If broth or the drippings were used, they may be drizzled over the cabbage for additional flavor, if desired.
