Beef With Tomatoes And Artichokes -- Easy Elegance In 30 Minutes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless beef cubes (round, sirloin, or other lean cut preferred)
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, slivered
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 (12 ounce) jars water-packed artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
olive oil
chopped fresh basil (to garnish) (optional)
grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Brown meat, onions, and garlic in a little olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven.
Add tomatoes, artichoke hearts, basil, and salt.
Bring to a boil then simmer 15-20 minutes or until beef and onions are fully cooked.
Serve over rice or pasta, garnished with additional chopped basil if desired. Pass grated Parmesan at the table.
A salad (I suggest the balsamic dressing from Recipe #213989 ), and, perhaps, a loaf of Italian or French bread will complete the meal nicely.
