Ingredients

  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme 2 dried bay leaves 4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 3/4 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 3/4-inch pieces 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought beef stock (14 ounces) 2 medium onions, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup dry rose or white wine 6 canned whole plum tomatoes, crushed 6 medium carrots (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces 2 medium parsnips (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces 1 medium turnip (about 10 ounces), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces

Directions

Make the bouquet garni: Put thyme, bay leaves, parsley, and peppercorns on a piece of cheesecloth; tie into a bundle with kitchen twine, and set aside.

Put flour into a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add beef; toss to combine. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large heavy stockpot over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef; cook until browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup water to pot, and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Pour over beef. Return the pot to heat. Repeat with 2 teaspoons oil and remaining beef. Whisk 1/4 cup stock into remaining flour in bowl; set aside.

Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, the onions, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine; cook, scraping up browned bits, until wine has almost evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, flour mixture, remaining stock, 1/2 cup water, and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil. Add carrots, parsnips, and turnip. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add beef; cook until heated through and liquid has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove bouquet garni. Serve immediately.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/23/2008   Does anyone know how many servings are in this recpie?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/22/2008   One of my favorite winter meals, where I often change ingredients depending on what's in the pantry and what type of meat I have. I don't think I would want to use tenderloin in a beef stew. If I have tenderloin, it would be in a finer or exceptional recipe.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/21/2008   Well, I happen to love parsnips and turnips...I'll bet a lot of people would like them if they tried them.....and I get the tenderloin at a local Vietnamese market at a bargain price. This stew is delicious. I did use red wine instead of rose or white because I had some left. You can use a chuck cut, but it will have more fat....  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/21/2008   Sorry but no thanks to parsnips and turnips. Of all the vegetables those are the only two I don't like. And beef tenderloin for stew? Are you serious?In my house, if you can afford tenderloin, you certainly don't stew it.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/21/2008   Everyone keeps asking for the nutritional information. Is anyone listening???  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/19/2008   I agree...there are very few things I cook that I am not at least aware of the nutritional value of the food...this is very important to me.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/04/2008   I would also love to have the nutritional value of these light recipes. I am also on Weight Watchers and am always looking for something "good" to prepare.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/29/2007   It would be helpful if you would give the nutritional value of your recipes for those of us who are on Weight Watchers. I am sure many of the recipes can be used for this weight loss plan. Thank you.
