Ingredients for 4 servings:

beef stew meet - 500 grams / 1 pound

olive oil - 1 tbsp

garlic, chopped - 2 cloves

onion, raw, chopped - 1 medium

mushrooms, canned, sliced - 200 grams drained solids

red whine - 1/4 cups (optional)

beef or vegetable broth - 4 cups

non-fat yoghurt - 1 cup

Worcestershire sauce - 1 tbsp (optional)

parsley, fresh, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

tomato paste - 1 tbsp

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Season the meat with salt and pepper and brown in the oil for a few minutes.

2. Toss in the garlic, onion, mushrooms and cook for another 7-10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

3. Pour in the broth, the wine and the Worcestershire sauce (if you decided to use any) and bring up to a boil.

4. Lower the heat to low, add the tomato paste, and cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until meat is really tender (it took me about an hour). If the liquid is too low, add more broth or water.

5. When the meat is finally tender, uncover and simmer a little longer (15 - 20 minutes) to reduce the liquid.

6. When the liquid is reduced to about half, turn off the heat and stir in the yoghurt and parsley. Enjoy hot!
