Ingredient amounts have been scaled and may need to be rounded where appropriate
1 Tbsp.+ 1 tsp. vegetable oil
1/3 yellow onion, diced
2-3 carrots, cut into 1'' pieces
2-3 celery ribs, diced
8 oz. boneless beef chuck (stew meat)
1 Tbsp. + 2 1/3 tsp. flour
4-3/4 oz. beef broth
2 fluid oz.+ 4 tsp. apple juice
4- 5 to 6 oz. tomatoes, diced
1/3 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2'' dice
1/3 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2'' dice
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
Cut the beef into 1/2" cubes. Heat the oil in a 6 quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and let cook, 3 to 4 minutes, until light golden brown.
Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce heat to medium. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Add flour and stir to coat the meat and blend the oil with the flour. Let cook 3 to 4 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the flour browns lightly. Add the broth to the pot and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any brown bits. Add the apple juice and tomatoes and allow mixture to come to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook.
After 45 minutes, add the reserved vegetables, the sweet potato, and the butternut squash. Continue cooking until the meat and all of the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour longer.
Season to taste and serve.
