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.
