Beef tips and cabbage with a glass of Southern Breeze Half and Half Sweet Tea 🙂
My desktop tea caddy
GOOD AFTERNOON! I’m sitting at my desk looking out on trees with new-green leaves and blooms on my hydrangeas. The birds are chirping in my little corner of the world and the smell of rain still hangs in the spring air. It’s as if the earth feels refreshed, and that makes me feel refreshed, too! With that in mind, I just popped a cold brew Sweet Tea bag into my glass of water and in a few minutes I’ll add some ice and start sipping. Raspberry is my starting flavor most days, but I eventually make my way to all of them. I have been keeping a little basket of Sweet Tea bags on my desk (photo right) so I just switch flavors throughout the day and keep on sippin’ while I work! No hot water needed, just add the bag to room temp water, wait about five minutes, and add ice for perfectly sweetened no calorie tea, smooth as a Southern Breeze. I LOVE their fruit flavored teas and this allows me to switch up flavors throughout the day without having to stop and brew a whole pitcher. They are also perfect to toss in your purse and take on the go.
Today I’m sharing an easy breezy recipe for supper that is delicious and friendly to a multitude of diets including but not limited to: Keto, Atkins, Low Carb, Weight Watchers, Paleo, and more. It’s also something new you can do with cabbage for those of you who may have been cabbaged out (because it is such a great veggie!). But my favorite part is that it all cooks up together on one sheet pan so you can have time for more worthy pursuits – like sipping sweet tea on your back porch.
Speaking of back porches, in Alabama it is finally warm enough to spend time on ours again. Sure, it’s been a little rainy but I’ve found many a sunny patch peeping out from those rainclouds. I like to take little breaks throughout my day to step out there, slow down my thoughts a bit, and consider my blessings. Goodness knows we spend a good bit of our day considering our stressors – and I’ve learned that giving blessings equal (or more) time is the key to balance and happiness. It’s simply a matter of taking time to focus on the goodness of life.
Like family suppers. Let’s get cooking!
Begin by mixing up the spices. This is my personal little blend that I’m sharing today and I just love it. It’s perfect for steak, chicken, veggies, or just as a seasoning topping on the table.
Then, cut your cabbage into thick slices about 1 inch thick. Drizzle olive oil on a large baking sheet and add cabbage slices on top. Add steak tips.
Drizzle more olive oil over steak tips and cabbage and toss both a bit to coat them. Sprinkle spice mixture liberally over all.
Note: See the parchment? I was feeling all organized that day. It makes cleanup easier but is not required 😉
Bake at 400 for 20-30 minutes, or until cabbage steaks or lightly browned and steak is desired doneness.
Enjoy this healthy meal with a tall glass of zero calorie guilt free sweet tea!

Disclosure: I love Southern Breeze Sweet Tea but I have been compensated for this post. I am not an employee of Southern Breeze or Harris Tea Company but an independent website owner and all opinions are my own. In fact, I drank three glasses of tea while writing this very post. My opinion right now is that Raspberry is the best, but that is just because I am drinking it. The cold brew flavors are kind of like children, we can’t really choose a favorite because we love them all! Have a wonderful day. 🙂

Oh, my Christy, this looks wonderful. I really love cabbage and with the beef tips, I just know I’m gonna love this. Thanks for sharing your seasoning blend. I’m going to try and convert it into a larger amount so I can have this on hand.
Thank you Claudine, I hope you get the chance to try it soon and please come back and let me know what you think!!
Love this meal. I do these often. Cauliflower steaks with steak is yummy too. Love your site for so many reasons.
Thank you so much Annette!! Great idea using Cauliflower steaks, thanks for sharing!!
That looks simply divine, Christy! I tried your roasted cabbage the other day and was surprised how wonderful it turned out…funny how I never thought about using cabbage other than in a slaw or steamed with corned beef! What a great way to bring out the sweetness! Looking forward to using this idea for a quick (and easy!) weeknight dinner for the family.
I am so glad to hear that you liked it Patsy!!!
I just printed out your recipe, I’m going to do this with chicken breasts instead of steak! Love your cookbooks!
Thank you so much Cassie!! Let me know how you like it using Chicken!!
Thank you so much Christy for posting these low carb recipes. Since being diagnosed diabetic I appreciate good low carb meal ideas.
This one looks delicious and I can’t wait to try your season mix. Please keep ’em coming.
Have you seen the Evo spray bottles at QVC? Each spray of olive oil (or desired oil) is a quarter teaspoon and the way the nozzle sprays, ensures even coverage. It’s great!
I will have to check that out Patti, thanks for letting me know about it!!
I loving the raspberry tea..got some of the peach for my husband. You introduced me to it awhile ago….it is perfect for us Southern tea sippers!
I am so glad you are enjoying it Crystal!!
Do you recall where you purchased the caddy that’s holding the tea bags? I love it!
Hellow my name is MartinMigue. Wery good post! Thx 🙂
Hi MartinMigue! Thank you!!
I made this last night. I am watching my carbs and A1C so this made a perfect meal. I enjoy eating cabbage and was excited to find a different way to prepare it. Thanks… I enjoy your Southern Plate!
Thank you Debora!! I am so glad that you are a part of Southern Plate and appreciate all of your support!!
I’m concerned that stew meat won’t be tender cooked for such a short time.
Needless worry or not?
Thanks.
The level of tenderness really depends on the quality of your stew meat. But this is really tender, you do have a tiny bit of a chew, like you would a sirloin steak. I am really adamant about getting that black angus stew meat from Aldi for us because it is just the best quality I’ve found outside of a local farmer. You can always marinate it in an acid based marinade if you want to break it down further but I just toss it on and go exactly as written 😉
Christy,
This is one of the best web sites for fantastic recipes I have seen !! You have great choices and variety with easy to follow instructions.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for all you provide !!!
Thank you so much Caroline, that means the world to me!!
Cabbage is one of my favorite foods, thanks for a different take that looks delicious.
It is one of my favorite too Sandra, I hope you get the chance to try it soon!!
This looks wonderful. But, I must ask……does cooking the cabbage in the oven smell the house up like boiling cabbage does?? Thanks!
I prepared this dish just as Christy listed it as a surprise party for one of my friends. She’s on a low carb diet. The cabbage and roasted broccoli from Southern Bite were the hit of the meal. There’s NO cabbage smell at all, just utter deliciousness from the spices. I even roasted my corn on the cob! My husband and I had the little bit of leftovers for supper and he loved everything, too! Next time I think I’ll try it with the chicken as someone suggested. Cooking everything in the oven made preparation so easy, and Christy has perfected her spice recipe.
WOW, thank you so much Patti!! I appreciate you trying it and I am sure your friend was so grateful you took her way of eating into consideration. That speaks volumes about what a great friend you are!!
