Atkins Beef Recipes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup atkins bake mix
3 lb beef chuck/round, 1 1/2 cubes
1/4 lb sliced bacon
1 tbsp oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 clove garlic, pushed through a press
2 cup dry red wine
1 can reduced sodium beef broth

PLUS

1 can water
1 leaf bay
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp butter
1/2 lb button mushrooms

Instructions:

The technique of reducing the wine before adding the beef allows for almost
all the alcohol to burn off and produces a very rich tasting sauce.

1. Spread bake mix in a shallow plate; dredge beef pieces, tap off excess.
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove
bacon, crumble and set aside.

2. Add oil to bacon fat in Dutch oven. Brown beef in batches. Transfer to a
platter. Add onion, carrot and celery to Dutch oven; cook 8 minutes, until
softened. Pour in wine; increase heat to high. Boil wine until reduced to
1 cup, about 5 minutes.

3. Return beef and accumulated juices to Dutch oven. Pour in beef broth and
water; add bay leaf and thyme. Reduce heat to low; cover partially and
simmer 1 hours, until beef is tender.

4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms until
golden,

5. About 5 minutes. Add mushrooms to stew, along with reserved bacon.
Remove bay leaf.
