Preparation

Peel potato and cut into small cubes. Soak or double-boil to reduce potassium if you are on a low potassium diet. (see helpful hints)
Chop onion and mince garlic cloves. Slice carrots. Cut beef into bite-sized pieces.
In a large Dutch oven heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add onion and cook until tender; add mushrooms and thyme; stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute.
Add red wine to mixture and stir.
Coat beef in flour. In a large frying pan heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add half of beef mixture and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon Mrs. Dash® seasoning blend. Cook until browned on all sides. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil, beef mixture and 1/8 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning blend.
Add browned beef to mushroom mixture.
Add thyme, broth and bay leaf to mixture. Bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 hour or until beef is tender.
Drain potatoes. Stir potatoes and carrot into pot with beef. Simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally as sauce thickens.
Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash and black pepper. Discard bay leaf and serve.

Helpful hints

Potatoes are very high in potassium but you can remove part of the potassium by using one of these methods:

Double cook method: Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and set aside.
Leaching method: Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of warm tap water and soak for 2 to 4 hours. Drain and set aside.

Skip step # 1 if you are not on a low potassium diet.
Divide leftover stew into 1 cup portions and freeze for a quick meal later.
Serve with crusty rolls and berries for dessert.
