Quick Beef Stew with Mushrooms and White Beans
Quick Beef Stew with Mushrooms and White Beans

Beef goulash, quickly prepared with beef steak, white beans, carrots, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms.

hmm “Quick Stew” is something of a contradiction in terms, isn’t it?

This recipe has been updated from one I posted a few years ago with slight changes to extract more flavor from the ingredients given the short cooking time.

The revamped stew passed the parental consent test, with two thumbs up from mom and dad. Enjoy!

  3. Cooking carrots, onions and garlic:

    Add the carrots and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the onions and cook another 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook another minute.

  4. Add wine, bring to a boil, and return the cooked beef and mushrooms to the pan:

    Cook another 3 minutes.
