Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef stew meat
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds, peeled, seeded, and cubed) Butternut squash
- 1 large (diced) Yellow onion
- 3 medium (peeled and sliced into rounds) Carrots
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh cilantro or parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper. Brown the beef in batches in the hot skillet, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more olive oil if needed between batches. Once browned, transfer the meat to the crockpot.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the crockpot.
Add the cubed butternut squash, sliced carrots, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, raisins, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, turmeric, ground ginger, and any remaining salt and black pepper to the crockpot.
Stir the ingredients to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and the butternut squash is cooked through.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley, as desired.
