Directions

Trim fat from steak; cut steak into 1-inch cubes. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven until hot. Add steak; cook 5 minutes or until steak loses its pink color. Drain well. Wipe drippings from a pan with a paper towel.

Return steak to pan; place over medium heat. Add thyme, garlic, and bay leaves; cook 1 minute. Add wine and tomato paste; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1-½ hours or until steak is tender.

Add ½ cup water and next 5 ingredients to steak mixture; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Combine cornstarch and remaining 3 tablespoons water; add to stew.

Cook 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper. Yield: 2-½ quarts (18% of calories from fat).

NOTE: Store stew in airtight containers in freezer up to 3 months, if desired. Thaw in refrigerator; reheat.
