Beef and Lentil Stew with Tarragon

This particular stew was something I cooked up during my January “Slow Carb Diet.” I craved heavy winter meals, but was limited to protein, veggies and beans. I decided to substitute lentils for the potatoes in traditional beef stew; then added red wine and tarragon for extra OOMPH. The result was a lovely flavorful stew that lacked not for heavy carbs. I made this several times and ended up emailing the recipe to friends.
