Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef chunks to the skillet and brown them on all sides. This should take about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1/12 cup of olive oil.
- Sauté the diced onion, sliced carrots, and diced celery until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the bay leaf and stir in the tomato puree and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet.
- Pour in the beef broth, bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
- While the beef and vegetable mixture is simmering, peel and slice the potatoes and dice the pumpkin into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom.
- Add a layer of half the diced pumpkin.
- Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture over the potatoes and pumpkin.
- Layer the remaining potatoes and pumpkin on top of the beef mixture.
- Pour the melted butter over the top layer of potatoes and pumpkin to ensure even coverage.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes and pumpkin are tender.
- Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving.
- Let the bake sit for a few minutes after removing from the oven to allow it to set slightly.
- Serve hot and enjoy your hearty beef, potato, and pumpkin bake!
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the beef in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs overnight.
- To save time, chop all vegetables and prepare the ingredients before starting the cooking process.
- Ensure even cooking by cutting the potatoes and pumpkin into similar-sized pieces.
- If you prefer a creamy texture, you can add a bit of cream or milk to the beef broth.
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese over the bake before putting it in the oven.
- Always taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
