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

1/8
teaspoon black pepper

8

sun-dried tomatoes, quartered

1
can (about 14 ounces) fat-free reduced-sodium beef broth

6
unpeeled small potatoes, cut into wedges

1
cup baby carrots

1
cup fresh pearl onions, outer skins removed

1
tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water



 
Preparation:
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. Remove meat and vegetables from skillet with slotted spoon; cover and set aside. Discard orange peel and bay leaf.

3.
Stir cornstarch mixture into sauce in skillet. Increase heat to medium; cook and stir until sauce is slightly thickened. Return meat and vegetables to sauce; heat thoroughly.
