Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 pound beef stew meat
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1 cup white wine
1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
PILAF:
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/3 cup dried cranberries
2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, garlic, salt and pepper. Add beef, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil in batches. Remove and set aside. Add mushrooms to the pan; saute until tender. Return beef to the pan. Add the wine, broth, thyme and rosemary, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until beef is tender. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into stew. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Add rice and cranberries; cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until rice is lightly browned. Add the broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork. Serve with stew. Yield: 6 servings.
