Tasty and Different Beef Stew PDF Print E-mail
1 pound of chuck, bones and fat removed and cut into 1” cubes
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 8 oz can diced tomatoes
1 8 oz can beef broth
1 cup dry red wine
1 small sprig of fresh Rosemary
1 Bay leaf
4 tbsp gluten-free flour
½ cup white corn (you can use frozen corn)
½ cup green beans, cut into 1” pieces
1 large potato, cut into small cubes
2 large carrots, sliced
½ cup peas (you can use frozen peas)
Salt and pepper to taste

In a pressure cooker, brown the meat and remove. Heat oil and add garlic (peeled and crushed in a press). Sauté the garlic for a minute or two and add the meat. Add tomatoes, beef broth, and wine. Add Rosemary, Bay leaf, salt and pepper. Seal pressure cooker and heat on high until it reaches full pressure (red stem goes up). Lower heat and cook for 20 minutes. If you do not have a pressure cooker, simply cover and simmer in a large pot for an hour. In a small frying pan, place the gluten-free flour and add liquid from your stew a little at a time. Work the liquid in with a spatula, adding liquid until it is the consistency of wall paper paste and the flour and liquid are thoroughly mixed together. Add the “paste” to your stew and thoroughly stir it in, thickening the stew. Other gluten-free choices are arrowroot or cornstarch to thicken your stew.

Add beans. If mixture is too dry, add a little water. Good over brown rice or whole wheat pasta. For what it's worth, you can use any bean you like if you prefer not to have pinto beans.
