Add the thyme to the pot, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour with a little water and add to the pot, stirring until well incorporated. Remove from the heat and leave covered for a few minutes prior to serving.

Recipe Notes

Family Friendly tip – instead of purchasing stew beef ready cut at the market, purchase a chuck roast and cut your own. You’ll save money and ultimately calories as you can trim the fat yourself.

Fresh thyme gives this a lovely boost but if your preference is to use dry, two fresh sprigs would be roughly 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried thyme.

While this dish stands well on its own, it really is great served over brown rice, which for half a cup per serving will add approximately 100 calories to the dish.
