I made this today for lunch. (I'm at home with a mild cold. Knock on
wood that it stays mild.) I seasoned the meat with a beef bouillon cube
and a generous twist of black pepper.

It tastes pretty good, but there's an awful lot of water (cabbage juice)
in the bottom. I think it would be better with a layer of half-cooked
egg noodles in the bottom to soak up the excess moisture. Wha'd'ya think?
