Southwestern Beef Stew
(Makes 4 Servings)

1 1/2 lbs Lean beef stew meat
1 Cup Salsa
1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 Lg Yellow onion
1   Jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
1 Med Green pepper, seeded and diced
2 Med Carrots, diced
2 Cups Low-sodium beef broth
1 tsp Ground cumin seed
1/2 tsp Ground red pepper
6 oz Corn, frozen
2 tsp Corn starch
1 Cup Plain low-fat yogurt
    Salt and pepper,
    to taste

Cut beef stew meat into 1" cubes, and trim excess fat.  In large bowl, pat meat dry; add
salsa and stir well.  Cover bowl and marinate in refrigerator overnight.

In large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil.  Add beef stew meat.  Over medium heat, cook 3-5
minutes or until beef is lightly browned.  Add onion, jalapeno pepper and garlic, and sauté
10 minutes or until onion is translucent.  Add green pepper and carrot; sauté another 3
minutes.   Add beef broth, cumin seed, red pepper, corn, and salt and pepper.  Reduce heat,
cover, and simmer on very low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.  Uncover.  Stir corn
starch into 1/4 cup cold water, and stir into stew.  Cook 30 minutes or until meat is
tender.   (If stew seems dry, add water and/or extra salsa; if too much liquid, add more
corn starch).

Remove from heat.  Serve hot with a splash of yogurt.
