Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
1 1/4 pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
2 small onions, each cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
1 package (8 ounce size) cremini or button mushrooms, quartered
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 can (16 ounce size) small white beans (such as Great Northern, navy, or cannellini), rinsed, drained
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
directions
In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the beef cubes in two batches, 1 to 2 minutes each, or until the outside is no longer pink. Remove from skillet and season with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat until hot. Add carrots, stir-fry for 3 minutes, then add the onions and stir-fry 5-8 minutes more, until crisp-tender.
Stir in mushrooms and wine. Continue stir-frying 5 minutes. Stir in beans and tomatoes. Continue cooking 3 more minutes.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Cook 2 minutes more until just heated through.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

reviews & comments
Cook for TWO minutes?
The cubed beef is cooked to medium-rare in the first paragraph and is set aside. It will continue to cook a bit more while it sits. It is then added back in at the end and the dish then for 2 more minutes to complete the cooking process. It's really more of a stir-fry than a stew, but it contains typical stew ingredients hence the title.
