Step 1

Brown meat in a Dutch oven or a braiser in oil or clarified butter until fond forms.

Step 2

Add onions, carrots, and peppers (optional) and cook until onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Meat doesn't have to be cooked through.

Step 3

Add cabbage and tomato paste or ketchup. Put in oven at 350° and cook for about 10 minutes. Check if there's a little juice at the bottom of the pan. If the pan is dry, add a little water. Mix and cook for another 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft.

Step 4

Add sugar and/or more ketchup. Mix and cook for another 5 minutes. At this point tomato paste is not an option, as it will not have enough time to cook; it has to be ketchup.
