Beef Stew

4 servings

1 pound lean sirloin, cut in cubes
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 clove garlic, minced
1 red onion, cut into eighths lengthwise
1 cup baby carrot
1/2 pound small mushrooms
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 potatoes, cubed

Heat oven to 500 degrees. Place flour in a zip lock baggie and put beef cubes in bag. Close and shake to cover all beef cubes with flour. Place floured cubes in an oven-proof pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cook in 500 degree oven for about 20 minutes, until browned. Remove from oven and let cool on stovetop for 5 minutes. Gradually add broth to pan and stir to loosen browned bits.
Add garlic, 2 tbs. parsley and thyme. Cook covered on medium low heat for about 1 hour until beef is tender. Add carrots, cleaned mushrooms and cubed potatoes. Cook 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with parsley before serving. Add more broth if mixture becomes too dry.
