Preparation

Step 1

1 In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown.

2 Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

You can also use plain tomato sauce instead of the garlic-and-herb flavor.

Complete this tasty meal with crusty dinner rolls and a mixed greens salad tossed with your favorite dressing.

"Speedy stew," an oxymoron? Not if you use a tender cut of beef, cube the meat the night before and use ingredients already in your freezer and pantry.
