Elevate your classic beef stew with the subtle sweetness of roasted butternut squash
In short: This recipe transforms a traditional beef stew into a more complex dish by incorporating butternut squash. Learn the technique for building a rich, thickened sauce using a classic French culinary method.
The process begins by browning 1.5 kilograms of boneless chuck in a Dutch oven. After sautéing aromatics like onions, carrots, and garlic, tomato paste is added to deepen the flavor profile. The base is deglazed with wine, which is reduced by half before the beef and broth are added to simmer for approximately two hours.
To achieve the perfect consistency, the recipe utilizes a 'Beurre Manié'—a mixture of flour and butter mashed into a paste. This is stirred into the stew alongside butternut squash, thyme, summer savoury, and tarragon. The final stage requires simmering for another 30 minutes until the squash reaches a tender texture.
