Method

Step 1

Cut steak into bite-sized pieces; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Brown steak all over. Transfer to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium.

Step 2

Add bacon (if using), onion, carrot, celery, garlic and rosemary to skillet; sauté for 6 minutes or until softened and starting to brown. Stir in the tomato paste, cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add steak, broth and tomatoes.

Step 3

Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and simmer for 30 minutes or until steak is tender and sauce is reduced.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Stir parsley into sauce and serve over hot spaghetti with Parmesan cheese (if using).

Tip

s: – To prepare the braise in a slow cooker, add the end of step 2, transfer all the ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours. Stir 2 tbsp (30 mL) gluten free cornstarch with an equal amount of beef broth; stir into the slow cooker. Simmer on high for 15 minutes or until thickened. (Because a slow cooker doesn’t reduce the fluids, you’ll need to thicken the sauce.) – Recipe doubles easily. – Replace the flank steak with trimmed, cubed stewing beef. – Add even more flavour by replacing 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the broth with red wine.
