Slow cooked to perfection, this warming low fat braised beef dish is ideal on cold evenings or any time you want comfort food. Enjoy as is or serve some noodles or warm crusty bread on the side.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pound lean stewing beef (top round or sirloin tip round)
  • 1 medium potato, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 8-ounce pack cremini mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup fat-free beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Italian blend herbs

PREPARATION:

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven.

Brown beef in two batches and transfer to a plate.

Add potato, carrots, onion, celery, garlic and mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Stir in wine, scraping any brown bits. Add broth, tomato paste and herbs, and stir well. Simmer for 10 minutes.
