Quick Beef Boliche

Yet again, another Cooking Light recipe - easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1 (1-pound) top sirloin, cut into (1-inch) pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 oz hot chicken Italian sausage
3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups refrigerated diced potatoes with onions (such as Simply Potatoes)
1/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives, divided
1 bay leaf*
1 (14 1/2-oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

Heat a large Dutch oven (or a giant pan if you don't have a Dutch oven - in another words I don't have a Dutch oven) over high heat
Coat pan with cooking spray
Sprinkle beef with salt and black pepper
Add beef to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until browned
Remove casings from sausage
Add sausage to pan; sauté 1 minute or until browned, stirring to crumble
Stir in bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes or until tender
Add potatoes, 2 Tbsps olives, and bay leaf to pan
Pour tomatoes evenly over beef mixture
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until beef is tender
Discard bay leaf
Stir in remaining 2 Tbsps olives and lime juice

*I forgot to pick up a bay leaf at the store, so I just omitted it & this dinner tasted just fine!
