This is a family favorite that is easy to make and it’s ready is much less time that a traditional beef stew. Change the veggie combo if you prefer others, but make sure that you add long-cooking vegetables when you start the meat.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound stew beef — cubed

  • 2 cloves garlic — minced

  • 1 medium onion — slivered

  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi — vacuum packed

  • 14 1/2 ounces beef broth

  • 8 ounces tomato sauce

  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • 1 tablespoon basil

  • 1 cup mushrooms — quartered

  • 1 cup zucchini, small — cut into 1″ pieces

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

  • Brown beef in olive oil and add onion and garlic. Saute until onion is just soft. Add broth, tomato sauce, spices, and water as needed and simmer 50-60 minutes, until beef is tender. Add gnocchi, zucchini, and mushrooms and simmer until tender, about another 10 minutes.
