This heart-healthy one-dish meal is made with lean top round beef, lots of vegetables, and a spicy, herb mixture.

Ingredients

1 lb top round beef

1 Tbsp paprika

1½ tsp oregano

½ tsp chili powder

¼ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp black pepper

1/8 tsp red pepper

1/8 tsp dry mustard

8 red-skinned potatoes, halved

3 cups onion, finely chopped

2 cups beef broth

2 large garlic cloves, minced

2 large carrots, peeled and cut into very thin 2½-inch strips

2 bunches mustard greens, kale, or turnip greens, stems removed (½ lb each) and coarsely torn

non-stick spray coating as needed

Directions

1. Partially freeze beef. Thinly slice across the grain into long strips 1/8-inch thick and 3 inches wide. Trim away visible fat.

2. Combine paprika, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper, and dry mustard. Coat strips of meat with the spice mixture.

3. Spray a large heavy skillet with non-stick spray coating. Preheat pan over high heat.

4. Add meat; cook, stirring for 5 minutes.

5. Add potatoes, onion, broth, and garlic. Cook, covered, over medium heat, for 20 minutes.

6. Stir in carrots, lay greens over top, and cook, covered, until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.

7. Serve in large serving bowl, with crusty bread for dunking.
