Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 pounds stew beef, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 pound butternut squash, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 to 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

In a large soup pot heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and saute until the onions are tender, about 2 minutes. Toss the beef cubes in salt and pepper and flour. Turn up the heat to med-high and add the beef to the pot. Cook until the beef is browned and golden around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the Marsala wine. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir up all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the butternut squash and sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Add enough beef broth to just cover the beef and squash. Bring the stew to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread alongside.

    Great -- with a few modifications

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This recipe needed some help. First, as many reviewers have mentioned, the beef needs to cook for more than an hour in order... to be tender -- at least 1.5 - 2 hours. I also added some extra garlic, about 2 tbs of tomato paste, and a splash of sherry vinegar at the end to give it some needed extra flavor. With those modifications, it was great.Read more

    EXCELLANT!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Giada's recipes are always a hit with my family, they loved it. As always am impatient to try out her recipes. I didn't have... Marsala wine or sun dried tomatoes. I substituted 3 TBSP of red wine vinegar to deglaze pan and a can of diced tomatoes. It was comforting and delicious. Giada can't thank you enough for this recipe. It's a Keeper.Read more

    Good Stew!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made it without the wine, which I think was a mistake. This was very good, but I think it could have been better if I... followed the recipe exactly. I will definately make it again, next time, with the wine! Also, we ate with sourdough bread- went great with it!Read more
