Tomato Steak Stew

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe submitted by Plan Z dieter Amy. Made this tonight and was very happy with it – it would count as your vegetable and your meat although you could definitely add a green salad. I found it to be very filling.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 – 1 ½ lb flank steak
• 1 large Spanish onion sliced thin
• 4 large cloves of garlic, chopped (or jar garlic)
• 3 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 ½ tsp ground cumin
• 2 ½ cups beef broth
• olive oil spray

Instructions:

Heat a pan with a little bit of olive oil spray in it over medium heat. Add the steak and cook each side until brown – remove and set aside.

Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin to the pan. Cook and stir until onions are tender.

Return the steak to the pan. Pour the beef broth over the steak. Bring the water to a boil and then cover and drop the heat to low. Allow to simmer until meat easily pulls apart with a fork, about 2 hours.

Remove the steak to a cutting board and use two forks to shred the meat. Put a serving of meat into a bowl and pour some of the onion/tomato mixture from the skillet over the shredded beef. Delish!!!!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
