4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ pounds Boneless bottom round roast
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
2 mediums Yellow onions; sliced thin
2 Cloves garlic; minced
1½ cup Low-sodium beef broth
1 cup ;water
2 tablespoons Low-sodium tomato paste
½ teaspoon EACH dried thyme, marjoram, and basil; crumbled
Nonstick cooking spray
¼ pounds Mushrooms; sliced thin
1 tablespoon Parsley; minced

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Season the roast with the pepper. Place the meat on the broiler pan rack and broil about 4 inches from the heat, turning until brown on all sides--about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325F.

In a heavy 4-quart Dutch oven, combine the onions, garlic, beef broth, water, tomato paste, thyme, marjoram, and basil. Add the beef and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Cover tightly, transfer to the oven, and cook for 2 to 2½ hours or until tender.

Slice the meat ¼ inch thick and arrange the slices, slightly overlapping, on a heated platter; keep warm.

Lightly coat a 10-inch skillet with the cooking spray and set over moderate heat for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in the pureed vegetables. Spoon the sauce over the beef and sprinkle with the parsley. Submitted By NANCY VAINE On 10-03-94
