Pumpkin Spice Beef Stew Recipe

Exploring New Flavors: Pumpkin Spice Beef Stew

As the temperatures drop and the leaves begin to change color, I find myself craving hearty and comforting dishes to warm me from the inside out. Today, I am excited to share with you a unique recipe that combines the rich flavors of fall with a savory twist: Pumpkin Spice Beef Stew.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• beef chunks (500g)
• onion (1 large)
• carrots (2 large)
• potatoes (3 medium)
• canned pumpkin puree (200g)
• beef broth (1 liter)
• cinnamon stick
• cloves (2)
• bay leaves (2)
• salt and pepper to taste

Prepare your kitchen tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• wooden spoon

Start by browning the beef chunks in a large pot over medium heat. Once the beef is browned on all sides, remove it from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add in the sliced carrots and cubed potatoes, cooking until slightly softened.

Next, return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Add the canned pumpkin puree, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring the stew to a simmer. Let it cook on low heat for about 1.5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Once the stew is thick and the beef is tender, remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the Pumpkin Spice Beef Stew hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.

This hearty and flavorful stew weighs approximately 2400g after cooking and yields about 6 servings. Each serving is around 400g and contains an estimated 350 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of balsamic vinegar right before serving to enhance the depth of flavors and give the stew a slightly tangy kick.

I hope you enjoy exploring the unique flavors of Pumpkin Spice Beef Stew. Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking by adding in extra vegetables or adjusting the spices. Happy cooking!
