Beef And Bean Stew

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2-1/2 to 3 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups water
• 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
• 3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, paprika, salt and cayenne. Add beef, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown beef in 2 tablespoons oil. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside.
2. In the same pan, saute onions in the remaining oil until crisp-tender. Add the water, tomato paste, sage and thyme. Return beef to pan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1-1/4 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. Add more water if needed. Stir in beans. Cover and simmer 15 minutes longer or until meat is tender.
