300 Calorie Beef Stew (Easy & Healthy) image

This is such a great recipe that I've probably made dozens of times over the past 30 years. Ever have one of those recipes that the whole neighborhood can smell cooking? It's just that good and good for you, too. No heavy brown gravy and huge chunks of potatoes. And, it is very low cal, coming in at just under 300 calories per serving. Low & slow cooking is the secret here. It's so easy that you can have it in the oven in 10 minutes. Serve with a loaf of warm garlic bread and a dinner salad for a delicious (...and healthy) meal.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pound(s) beef stew meat
1 tablespoon(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon(s) black pepper
1/4 teaspoon(s) thyme, dried
1/4 teaspoon(s) marjoram, dried
1/4 teaspoon(s) rosemary, dried
6 medium carrots, cut into chunks
3 stalk(s) celery, cut into bite-size chunks
1 large onion, chopped
1 - 16 oz. can (2 cups) tomatoes, undrained
1/4-1/2 cup(s) red wine, completely optional (i've made it both ways, and it's great either way) can substitute beef broth or water.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees.
  • In medium covered roaster, combine uncooked beef and all remaining ingredients; stir to combine.
  • And that's it! Bake covered at 250 degrees for 5-5 1/2 hours stirring occasionally. Meat will be moist, flavorful and very tender.
