Braised Steak with Vegetables

4 4oz cubed steaks
2 onions, sliced
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 14 1/2 ounce can stewed tomatoes (no salt added)
1/2 cup dry red wine
3 carrots, thinly sliced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 bay leaves
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 medium zucchini, sliced

1. Spray a large nonstick saucepan with nonstick cooking spray; heat. Brown the steaks, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.

2. Spray the same saucepan with more nonstick cooking spray; saute the onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, stirring constantly, until the flour is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and wine. Add the carrots, mushrooms, bay leaves, pepper and steaks; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, cover, stirring as needed, until the steak and vegetables are tender, 30-40 minutes.

3. Add the zucchini; return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, 5-6 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Serve the steaks, topped with the vegetable mixture.

Number of Servings: 4
