Beef With Tomatoes and Artichokes -- Easy Elegance in 30 Minutes image

I love dishes that taste like they were a lot more trouble to make than they really are. Artichoke hearts and fresh basil make this nice enough to put in front of guests but minimal prepwork means its on the table in half an hour so you can give it to your family on a busy night when opening cans sounds attractive. It holds well too for those days when everyone is on his/her own schedule.

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs boneless beef cubes (round, sirloin, or other lean cut preferred)
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, slivered
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 (12 ounce) jars water-packed artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
olive oil
chopped fresh basil (to garnish) (optional)
grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Brown meat, onions, and garlic in a little olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  • Add tomatoes, artichoke hearts, basil, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil then simmer 15-20 minutes or until beef and onions are fully cooked.
  • Serve over rice or pasta, garnished with additional chopped basil if desired. Pass grated Parmesan at the table.
  • A salad (I suggest the balsamic dressing from Recipe #213989 ), and, perhaps, a loaf of Italian or French bread will complete the meal nicely.
