Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs cubed beef stew meat
  • Black truffle salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion (peeled and finely diced)
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriande
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 delicata squash, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scooped out and sliced into moon shape slices (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 pound of small baby potatos / or could use carrots

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Sprinkle the cubed up stew meat with salt on both sides.
  2. Place a large pot over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the bottom of the pan. When hot, add the pieces of meat, in batches, until browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and repeat until you’ve worked through the meat.
  3. Add an additional teaspoon or two of oil, if needed. Next, add the onion, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, coriander, dried oregano and a few pinches of salt. Mix together until onions are slightly softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in the garlic and then pour in the soy sauce and using a spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan, getting up any bits.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and add in the reserved seared meat. Bring to a gentle simmer and then cover with a lid and transfer to the oven to cook for about 3 hours. Check it at the 2 hour mark and add any more broth, if necessary.
  5. At the 3 hour mark, add in the delicata squash and potatoes (or carrots) and cook for an additional 30 minutes. Give the sauce a taste and add any additional salt, if needed. Serve with creamy cauliflower mash (below), regular mashed potatoes or polenta.
