How to make Winter Stew

  1. Step 1

    In a casserole or cast-iron pot, heat a little olive oil. Once hot, sauté the beef cubes, chopped onions, and minced garlic cloves.

  2. Step 2

    Add the bell peppers, sliced into strips, along with the potatoes, carrots, leeks, and corn, all cut into medium-sized cubes.

  3. Step 3

    Let everything cook for about 5 minutes, then add the pumpkin, diced tomatoes, red wine, broth, and the sprig of aromatic herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Cook everything over low heat for about 40 minutes. Finally, add the peas and cook for another 5 minutes before removing from heat.

  5. Step 5

    Let the stew rest for a few minutes before serving.
