Remove any tough or brown leaves from the cabbage, then shred the cabbage.
Place 1 inch of water in a large pot with a steamer basket. Add the cabbage and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, cover and steam for 7 to 10 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat. Place the cabbage in a large bowl and allow it to cool for 2 minutes to allow the steam to dissipate.
Mix the cabbage with the butter, kosher salt and plenty of fresh ground pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
