I came across this recipe in Women's World magazine. It looked good and thought I would try it. It wasn't too bad in the points department either and it was easy to put together, too.
Busy Day Stew1 1/2 lbs boneless cubed stewing beef, trimmed
2 Tbs. flour
2 Tbs. oil
1 env. (1 oz) onion soup mix, from 2 oz pkg
2 1/4 cups canned tomatoes with juice
4 carrots, cut into chunks
4 potatoes, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
In plastic food storage bag, shake beef cubes with flour until meat is well coated. In large pot, heat oil on medium-high heat. Add beef, in batches, and saute until browned, removing as it browns. Return all beef cubes with accumulated juices to pot.
Combine soup mix and 1 cup water. Pour over beef. Bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook slowly until beef is almost tender, 40 minutes to 1 hour, 15 minutes. I needed to add more water.
Add tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes. (I also added more water because the original recipe didn't call for potatoes. This potato-loving girl couldn't imagine beef stew without them. ;); bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until vegetables and meat are tender, 25-35 minutes. Add peas during last 5 minutes of cooking. If mixture becomes too thick, add extra water.
1/6th of recipe is 9 points plus. (without potatoes 7 points plus)
