STOVETOP DIRECTIONS
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil
in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and sauté for 5
minutes or until mushrooms begin to brown. Spoon mushrooms into a large bowl.
Lightly coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion; sauté 10 minutes or until
tender and golden brown. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add onion mixture to
mushroom mixture.
Place flour in a shallow
bowl or pie plate. Dredge beef in flour, shaking off excess. Heat remaining 2
teaspoons oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add half of beef mixture; sprinkle
with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook 6 minutes, browning on all sides. Add browned beef
to mushroom mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining beef mixture and 1/8
teaspoon salt. Add thyme and broth; bring to a boil. Stir in beef mixture.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 1 hour or until beef is just
tender. Stir in potato and carrot. Simmer, uncovered, 1 hour and 15 minutes or
until beef and vegetables are very tender and sauce is thick, stirring
occasionally. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf.
Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
CROCK POT DIRECTIONS
Omit oil, unless you
desire to brown onions and garlic before adding to crock pot. Add all dry
ingredients to crock pot and stir to coat vegetables and meat with flour and spices.
Add beef broth and stir. Cook low(4-6hrs) or high (2-3hrs). Add salt and pepper
to taste. Garnish with thyme sprigs if desired.
