When my husband and I were walking through the grocery store we spied a bin of small pie pumpkins. All of a sudden I thought that a beef stew with pumpkin sounded quite good. Today was the perfect day here to give it a try… cool rain and lots of it!
I think it turned out great!
Beef – Pumpkin Stew
2 lbs Cubed Beef stew meat
1 tbs Butter
1 tbs Olive Oil
2 Onions, chopped
8-10 Garlic Cloves, peeled
2 bay leaves
1.5 tbs Worchestershire Sauce
3.5 c water
1 6″ Pumpkin, peeled and cubed
1 cup thick sliced mushrooms
Melt butter and olive oil in heavy stock pot. Add beef and stir fry until well browned. Add onions, garlic cloves (I leave mine whole), bay leaves, Worchestershire Sauce and water. Bring to a boil, turn to low and simmer for 2 hours. Add pumpkin, cover and simmer for another hour to an hour and a half or until the pumpkin is quite soft, but not falling apart. Add the mushrooms the last 10 minutes or so of cooking. Salt and pepper to taste. Serves 6 hearty servings.
