  1. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until it’s wonderfully hot, creating the perfect canvas for our flavors. Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic, letting them dance and sizzle for 3 to 5 minutes until they become tender and fragrant.

  2. Now, let’s add the foundational elements to our masterpiece. Pour in the water, ready-to-serve beef broth, picante sauce, and the star of the show – lentils. Stir this harmonious blend until it’s a symphony of ingredients.

  3. As the pot begins to whisper with bubbles, bring it to a gentle boil. Once it reaches that delightful crescendo, reduce the heat to low, covering it tightly like a culinary secret waiting to be unveiled. Let this symphony simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, allowing the lentils to reach their tender perfection.

  4. Meanwhile, let’s prepare the beef steaks. Trim the fat with precision, setting the stage for a lean and flavorful experience. Stack the steaks and cut them lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch strips, creating bite-sized portions of delight.

  5. As the lentils near their peak, increase the heat to medium, bringing the pot to a second act. Stir in the beef strips and the vibrant green escarole, creating a visual feast.

  6. Just when the flavors are at their most intense, we add a dramatic pause. Remove the pot from the heat, cover it like the grand finale, and let it stand for 5 minutes, allowing the ingredients to harmonize and create a culinary masterpiece.

  7. Finally, unveil your creation, and serve this Low-Fat Beef & Lentil Soup to an eager audience. Each spoonful is a journey through layers of flavors, a celebration of health, and a testament to the artistry that happens in the kitchen.
