Instructions
- Season the beef with a few pinches of sea salt and some black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, then add the beef. Let the pieces brown undisturbed for a few minutes on one side, then turn and let them brown on the other side. Remove from the heat.
- To the slow cooker, add the cubed squash, carrots, rutabaga, scallions, browned meat, cider vinegar, thyme, rosemary, broth or water, and salt. Cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 6-8 hours. (The longer it cooks the more tender the meat and flavorful the stew will be.)
- When the stew has finished cooking, discard the herbs, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, and serve.
