Braised Beef over Polenta

This dish contains 3 parts: Beef, Vegetables, and Polenta.

Note: There are stems from fresh thyme in this dish. Remove before serving.

Cooking Method: QuickThaw/Sauté

Beef and Vegetables: Partially thaw beef by submerging the well-sealed bag in water for 15 minutes. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil. Sauté beef approximately 2–4 minutes per side. Push beef to the side and add vegetables. Use a spoon to spread vegetables out in the skillet and cook until they begin to soften. Lower heat to medium and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, approximately 10–15 minutes.

Polenta:

1. In a small pot, add polenta mix, 1 1/2 cups water, and 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter, if preferred.
2. Mix well.
3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally until polenta thickens.
5. If you prefer thinner polenta, add a little more warm water and stir.

Finish: Spoon braised beef over mounds of polenta.

Internal temp: 165°F.
