Beef And Butternut Squash Stew Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Girlieerin / All my dishes 6 months ago Whole Foods meats are the ultimate in food porn. When I opened up my bag of stew beef I almost swooned.

Ingredients

3 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, peeled and chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

2 pounds stew beef, cut into 2-inch cubes

1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup Marsala wine (Note: I used a Cabernet Sauvignon)

1 pound butternut squash, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes

1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

3 to 4 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley (which I forgot to add)

Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

In a large soup pot heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onions, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and saute until the onions are tender, about 2 minutes.

Toss the beef cubes in salt and pepper and flour. Turn up the heat to med-high and add the beef to the pot. Cook until the beef is browned and golden around the edges, about 5 minutes.

Add the wine. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir up all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan.

Add the butternut squash and sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine.

Add enough beef broth to just cover the beef and squash.

Bring the stew to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread alongside.

Delicious post! It can be cheaper if you cut the meat up yourself too. As long as you don't mind a little blood :)
