Remove beef and add tomato paste, cook a minute or two and then deglaze the pan (scrape up the bits) with the wine and stock. Bring to a boil, cover then simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add the vegetables (not potatoes) and continue to cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add potatoes and cover again. Cook it for an additional 30 minutes until potatoes are done.

Nutrition Tip:

Some calorie budgets are about 400 for dinner. SOO it’s easy to see that something like a beef stew can be your max budget. Eat it slow and pair with low calorie foods like roasted vegetables, a plain side salad or mashed hot cauliflower if you need more than a stew for dinner!
