 Categories: Meats, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4    Pork steaks
      1    Small cabbage head
      4    Carrots
      1 c  Chicken stock or broth
    1/4 ts Garlic salt
      1 tb Ground Allspice
           Salt & pepper; to taste
      1 tb Butter, margerine or oil
      2 tb Water; for deglazing
 
  Brown pork steaks in butter, margerine or oil. Set aside to cool.
  Deglaze skillet with 2 T water. Pour liquor into a 4 qt pot. Cut
  carots into 1/8" thick slices. Add to pot and set pot over medium
  heat. Add chicken stock, garlic salt, allspice, salt and pepper to
  pot. Remove any bones from the pork steaks and cut them crosswise
  into 1/4" wide strips. Add the pork strips to the pot. Core and
  coarsly chop the cabbage. Add to pot. Stir well to mix all the
  ingredients. Cover the pot and allow the meat and vegetables to steam
  for a few minutes, but not too long. The carrots and cabbage should
  still be somewhat crisp (al dente) when served. Serve with steamed
  rice. OPTIONS: Alter spices any way you like. Add, delete or
  substitute any of the ingredients. This dish is versatile, fast, easy
  and very inexpensive. Since this is my first attempt at uploading
  from MM to the Food Forum, I thought this was an appropriate recipe.
  It's the first thing I ever cooked that had more than one ingredient.
  It dates back to my college days (early 60's) when I, nor my
  roommates, had much money. We had to build meals for four hungry guys
  on a budget that allowed less than five bucks per meal. One of the
  group hailed from Jamaica W.I. He devised this recipe based (loosly)
  on something his grandmother prepared. It cost less than two bucks to
  feed us all. Needless to say we started eating a variation of this
  recipe almost every night. On Friday night we spent the money we had
  saved to buy the five basic food groups (chili dogs, fries, pizza,
  burgers and beer). Today, thirty years later, this recipe will still
  feed four people for less than five dollers and takes less than 20
  minutes to make.
