Steps:
- Combine water, ham hock, and pork shank in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until meat is cooked through, about 2 hours. Drain and set meat aside to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Remove meat from pork shank, chop into bite-sized pieces, and place in a bowl. Remove skin and meat from ham hock, chop into very small pieces, and add to the bowl, omitting skin if you prefer.
- Heat bacon drippings in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add 1/4 of the cabbage to the hot skillet and saute until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. Add 1/4 of the meat mixture. Add another 1/4 of the cabbage, cooking until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes, followed by another 1/4 of the meat mixture. Repeat until all cabbage and meat have been added. Season with salt and pepper. If mixture sticks to the skillet, add 1 to 2 tablespoons chicken broth.
- Slowly add remaining chicken broth to the cabbage-meat mixture in the skillet, give it a good stir, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until cabbage is tender, 30 to 45 minutes.

SIMMERED CABBAGE
Once upon a time, my husband told me that he didn't like cooked cabbage. "Ah ha," I thought, "a challenge!" So I made a dish based on my "Simmered Leeks" recipe that works so well, and -- let's just put it this way: he changed his mind. He loves it when I make simmered cabbage! A very simple and tasty way to use this much-maligned veggie.

Steps:
- Heat oil and butter in large heavy and wide saucepan or saute pan; add cabbage, salt, pepper, and stir over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Add broth (I usually add a bit of sherry, too) and bring to boil, cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, for about 15 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
- Raise heat to medium, uncover and let juices reduce to about half (be careful not to let burn).
- Taste and adjust seasoning, serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose a large head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves for the best results.
- Wash the cabbage thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticide residue.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help it cook evenly.
- If you don't have a cleaver, you can use a sharp knife to slice the beef into thin strips.
- Marinate the beef in the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the beef and add flavor.
- Use a large pot or wok to cook the cabbage and beef. This will allow the ingredients to cook evenly.
- Add the cabbage and beef to the pot or wok and stir-fry over high heat until the cabbage is softened and the beef is cooked through.
- Serve the simmered cabbage and beef with rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
This simmered cabbage with beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cabbage is tender and slightly sweet, while the beef is flavorful and juicy. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage.
