This is my go-to beef stew. It’s easy to make—you can make it in a pot or a slow cooker. The result is always tender meat and flavorful sauce.
Serves 4
You will need:
1 tablespoon butter glug of olive oil
2 lbs beef stewing meat, cubed
1 large carrot, cubed
2 celery stalks, cubed
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 small can crushed tomatoes
2 cups vegetable stock
1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
1⁄2 large butternut squash, peeled, cubed
salt and pepper, to taste
Sriracha sauce, to taste
