Ingredients

1 pound lean beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons flour

2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons low-sodium tomato paste
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
4 cups carrots, sliced

Instructions

Coat beef with flour, shaking off excess.

Add onions, mushrooms and garlic to pot; saute, stirring for 1 minute. Pour off fat.
Return beef to pot; stir in tomato paste, then broth. Add enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
Skim off any foam. Add carrots, potatoes and green beans.
Cover partially; simmer for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water; stir into stew. Increase heat and boil uncovered for 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
