Description

This Italian Sirloin Stew is a comforting, quick-cooking main dish that delivers robust flavors without hours of simmering. Tender strips of sirloin steak are seared to perfection and then nestled into a savory sauce made from crushed tomatoes, garlic, and aromatic onions. Fresh zucchini adds a delightful texture and vegetal sweetness, balancing the richness of the beef. The dish is finished with a touch of basil and red pepper for warmth, and thickened slightly for a luxurious consistency. It’s an ideal weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests. Serve it hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese, alongside crusty bread to soak up every drop of the flavorful sauce. Simple ingredients come together to create a meal that is both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the sirloin steak into 1-inch strips.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the crushed garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside to infuse.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Add the sliced onions to the saucepan and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
  5. Sprinkle the onions with dried basil and ground red pepper, then cook and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add the crushed tomatoes with their juice, beef broth, and zucchini slices to the saucepan.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Add the beef strips to the hot skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes until browned.
  10. Pour the garlic-oil mixture from step 2 over the beef in the skillet and toss to coat.
  11. Add the cooked beef and garlic oil to the simmering vegetable stew in the saucepan.
  12. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water.
  13. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the stew and cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.
  14. Serve hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
