In 3-quart heavy saucepan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 15 to 20 minutes or until onion is golden brown. Stir in garlic; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove onion mixture from saucepan; set aside.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes or until beef and carrots are tender.
