How to make it lighter

  1. The rice pilaf traditionally served alongside adds a second carbohydrate portion; choose a smaller scoop or bulgur, or skip it on lighter days.
  2. Use lean beef and skim the fat from the top of the pot after cooking.
  3. Log ladles consistently and pair the stew with pickles or a shepherd's salad rather than extra bread.
