Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound lean beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 cups beef broth
4 cups sliced carrots
2 russet potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 cup chopped fresh green beans
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
¼ cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Coat beef with flour, shaking off excess. In a large nonstick stock pot, heat oil over medium-high heat, add beef and saute until brown, approximately 6 minutes. Remove beef from stock pot and set aside.
  • Add onions and mushrooms to stock pot and saute for 6 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute, continually stirring.
  • Skim off fat any fat from the stock pot and return cooked beef to pot; stir in tomato paste and broth. Add enough water to just cover ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until beef is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Skim off any foam that has accumulated on the surface of stew and add carrots, potatoes and green beans. Cover partially and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water. Stir mixture into stew. Increase heat and boil uncovered for 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
