SODIUM CONTENT: 80.2 mg per serving
INGREDIENTS
2 lb. beef stew meat, cubed
4 T. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 large onions, sliced (about 5 c.)
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. red wine
2 t. very-low-sodium or sodium-free beef bouillon granules
1/2 t. dried marjoram
1/2 t. dried thyme
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. white mushrooms, sliced thickly
DIRECTIONS
Melt the butter in a large (lidded) saute pan over medium-high. Add the onions and cook, stirring, 10 minutes. Move onions to the side of the pan, add the cubed beef and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add the water, wine and seasonings and stir well to combine. Raise the heat to high and bring contents to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover pan with lid, and cook 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Once beef is tender, stir in the mushrooms, cover, and cook another hour. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
