      4    Pork steaks                         1 tb Ground Allspice 
      1    Small cabbage head                       Salt & pepper; to taste 
      4    Carrots                             1 tb Butter, margerine or oil 
      1 c  Chicken stock or broth              2 tb Water; for deglazing 
    1/4 ts Garlic salt                     
  
  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.
