Ingredients

  • 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 32 oz beef broth
  • 3 lb boneless chuck roast trimmed, cut in 1 ½ inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds small sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 sweet onions cut into eighths
  • 2 cups cubed butternut squash about 1 lb.
  • 2 cups frozen whole kernel corn thawed
  • 2 celery ribs sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Reserve a ½ cup of the beef broth and whisk together the remaining broth with the tomato paste.
  • Put the flour salt and pepper in a ziplock bag and add the beef. Toss to coat well.
  • Brown the beef in batches in a large skillet over medium high heat, about 10 minutes. You want to get a nice brown crust on the beef. Remove beef from skillet and add to 6 quart slow cooker. Pour the reserved ½ cup of beef broth into the skillet and scrape up the brown bits, pour that into the slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on high for 6 hours.
