  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • Dash salt
  • Dash black pepper

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges or sliced and separated into rings
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2/3 cup dry red wine or Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 can (15 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar or lime juice

Directions

  • 1
    Place beef in 3-quart saucepan; add enough water to cover beef by 1 inch. Stir in remaining steak ingredients. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 50 to 60 minutes or until beef is tender enough to shred. Remove beef from liquid; discard liquid. Cool beef 15 minutes or until easy to handle. To shred beef, using 2 forks, pull beef apart along the grain of the meat.*

    In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until onion is transparent. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in wine; cook 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until slightly reduced.

    Stir in all remaining sauce ingredients except bell pepper and parsley. Cook uncovered about 7 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in shredded beef and bell pepper. Cover; cook 5 to 8 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is crisp-tender and beef is thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
