Beef pumpkin Stew
This beef and pumpkin stew is a hearty, slow-cooked meal that develops deep flavor over time. Chunks of beef are seared and then simmered with pumpkin puree, beef stock, and a hint of Worcestershire sauce for 3 hours, until fork-tender. Towards the end, potatoes and carrots join the pot, cooking until soft and infused with the stew's rich broth. It's the kind of dish that makes your kitchen smell incredible as it gently bubbles on the stove.

Prepare the beef
Cut the beef into 1-inch chunks. Toss the beef with the flour until each piece is evenly coated. - 02
Brown the beef and aromatics
Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef on all sides until deeply browned. As the beef browns, transfer it to a large bowl and set aside.
Once all the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot as you stir.
