Meaty mushrooms and tender sirloin are a perfect pair in this richly flavored stew. Make it a meal: We like to make this with a hearty zinfandel and enjoy a glass with the meal. Look for a crusty jalapeno cheddar bread to dip into the rich broth.
Ingredients
1 pound sirloin steak, trimmed of fat, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 cups chopped portobello mushroom caps (about 6 medium), gills removed if desired
2 cups frozen pearl onions, thawed and patted dry
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 cups frozen cut green beans, thawed
1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium beef broth
2/3 cup red wine
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
