I found this recipe while doing some research for my father-in-law. We loved it! Hearty but healthy! Yum! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 1/2 lbs eye of round roast, visible fat removed, bite-size pieces |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 cup finely chopped onion (about 2 medium) |
5 1/2 cups beef broth (low-sodium variety) |
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled |
1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled |
1 bay leaf, broken in half |
1 lb red potatoes, unpeeled (about 3 medium) |
2 large carrots |
8 ounces fresh mushrooms (3 to 3-1/2) |
1 cup red bell pepper, diced (1 medium) |
1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced (green and white parts) |
2 cups beef broth (low-sodium variety) |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup tomato paste (low sodium variety) |
1 teaspoon salt-free italian herb seasoning |
3/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. * Preheat broiler.
2. * Lightly spray a broiler pan and rack with vegetable oil spray. Broil meat about 6 inches from heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until meat is brown on all sides, turning occasionally.
3. * Spray a stock pot with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat bottom of pot. Saute onions until translucent.
4. * Add meat, any pan juices, 5-1/2 cups broth, thyme, marjoram, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1-1/2 hours or until meat is tender.
5. * Meanwhile, cut potatoes into chunks, slice carrots, and quarter mushrooms. Add to pot. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
6. * Add bell pepper and green onion.
7. * In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour into stew. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove bay leaf before serving stew.
