Cabbage Soup with Flanken with notes on "Ehud's vegetarian Cabbage"

I tried to find a recipe similar to our friend Ehuds's tomatoes and cabbage recipe to no avail, but this is close. His recipe is sliced green cabbage cooked for with a lid on the pot to really cook down, add crushed tomatoes honey salt and pepper, cook it all down for 45 minutes. He grew up eating this in the kibbutz he lived in as a child , it is an all ages friendly dish. Now, this recipe is a measured alternative to this, and looks delicious. I imagine it will be good without Flanken.

1 1/2-2 lbs. Kosher Flanken (a cut of short ribs, or any tender beef)
1 ct 48 ounce can of Tomato Juice
1 ct 29 ounce can of Crushed tomatoes
1 1/2-2 lbs. head of cabbage, shredded
1 juice of a large lemon
2 small onions, chopped
2 large carrots (from last week), cut into large chunks sweet potatoes can be substituted
1 large apple. peeled, and cut into large chunks
1 tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
2+ tbsp. brown sugar to taste

In a skillet, sear Flanken on all sides to get off as much fat as you can and brown meat. Remove meat and set aside. In a large stock pot heat oil and saute onion until golden. Add cabbage and stir. Add Flanken and rest of the ingredients, except brown sugar. Stir on medium heat. Taste and slowly add the amount of sugar to taste.
Cook for about 1 1/2 hours. Adjust heat to simmer if it is boiling too fast. When meat is fork tender remove from heat. Serve hot with some crusty bread.

ABOUT PICKING UP YOUR Fall CSA

Bring your own bag. Pick up at your pick up location and day (Wednesday or Friday) from 12-6pm. If you ordered an add-on, it will be packed in a separate labeled tote.

HOW TO PICK UP YOUR CSA

#1: Sign-in! the golden rule

Find & Sign-off your name on the sign-in sheet each week and please ONLY take the items listed next to your name.

This vital step helps ensure everyone goes home happy, including our site hosts and farmers, week after week.

#2: Locate your shares

Boxes are all the same for Fall Shares.

#3: Unpack your tote & stack the empties

Please bring your own reusable shopping bag to transport your items - we’ll pick the totes up next week for reuse! We can use them for multiple seasons, reducing waste one box at a time.

USING THE WEEKLY SWAP BOX?

Swap boxes are green with flowers painted on them. Swap boxes are labeled and will stand out! If your pick up site has a swap box, please feel free to swap an item you may not want in your box with an item in the provided and specifically-labeled SWAP BOX. Please limit the swaps to one item for one item per week.

UNABLE TO FIND AN ITEM?

(Please do not supplement it with something else!) Contact the farm directly before taking something else. The sooner you reach out the sooner your item may be located.

SOMEONE ELSE PICKING UP FOR YOU?

(Please share all the details of how to pick up with them BEFORE they attempt to pick up -- BYO bag, take from the right size box, check off the right name). Friends and family picking up for others is the number one cause of pickup mistakes, and we thank you in advance for your consideration.

CSA FAQS PAGE

Since our hands are often tied up with roots, soil or kids we keep this information on our CSA FAQS web page.

REDEEMING YOUR VACATION CREDIT
