Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Next, add the cubed beef chuck and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides.

Once the beef is browned, add the diced pumpkin to the pot along with the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Stir well to coat the meat and pumpkin with the spices. Then, pour in the beef broth and add the tomato paste, stirring to combine.

Cover the pot and let the stew simmer over low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve the Pumpkin Spice Beef Stew hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream if desired. This unique and flavorful stew pairs perfectly with crusty bread or a side salad.
