I'll have to try that. Normally when I make beef stew I use chuck roast which is so fatty, even after I trim off like a pound of it. Another good thing about this recipe is that it doesn't take hours to cook, which is only necessary for tough cuts like the chuck. Lean meats need much less time since they are already tender. I'll look for some nice sirloin the next time I am at the grocery store.

Sure! You could use Konjac, it is zero cal type of yam flour and thickens things up really well
Or just use less water!
