Description

This diabetic-friendly oven stew transforms humble ingredients into a comforting, home-style meal perfect for cold evenings. The boneless beef round steak becomes incredibly tender through slow roasting, absorbing the savory flavors of onions, celery, and chunky tomatoes. Unlike traditional stews that rely on heavy flour thickening, this recipe uses quick-cooking tapioca for a lighter texture that keeps blood sugar levels stable. The addition of carrots and peas provides essential vitamins and a pop of color. It is an easy, one-pot dish that requires minimal active prep time, making it ideal for busy weeknights. Serve it warm for a satisfying dinner that feels indulgent yet healthy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300&# 194;°F (150ðC).
  2. Trim excess fat from the beef round steak and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Peel and cut the carrots into 1.5-inch chunks.
  5. Cut the celery rib into 1-inch chunks.
  6. Chop the large onion into 1-inch pieces.
  7. Heat cooking oil in a Dutch oven or large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Brown the beef cubes in the oil until seared on all sides.
  9. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, chunky stewed tomatoes, tapioca, browning sauce, and pepper to the pot.
  10. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  11. Cover the Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid.
  12. Place the pot in the preheated oven and bake for 4 hours, stirring twice during the cooking process.
  13. After 4 hours, stir in the frozen peas.
  14. Continue baking, covered, for an additional 30 minutes until the peas are heated through and vegetables are tender.
  15. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
