Beef Stew in Red Wine
Yield: Makes 6 servings
If you prefer not to use red wine, you may substitute 1-1/2 cups fat-free reduced-sodium beef broth for the wine.
Ingredients:
1-1/2
pounds beef round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1-1/2
cups dry red wine
2
teaspoons olive oil
Peel of 1/2 orange
2
large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1
bay leaf
1/2
teaspoon dried thyme

1
cup fresh pearl onions, outer skins removed
1
tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

1.
Combine beef, wine, oil, orange peel, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and pepper in large glass bowl. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours or overnight.
2.
Place beef mixture, mushrooms and tomatoes in large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven. Add enough beef broth to just cover ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover; reduce heat to low. Simmer 1 hour. Add potatoes, carrots and onions; cover and cook 20 to 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender and meat is no longer pink.
