Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef stew meat
  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add 1.5 lb beef stew meat in a single layer; cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove beef to a plate.
