Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1 medium butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook and stir until no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer beef to a bowl and sprinkle with salt.
  • Add remaining olive oil to the Dutch oven. When hot, add butternut squash and onion. Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chili powder and cinnamon; cook for 1 minute.
  • Add cooked beef, tomatoes, broth, water, and honey; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until squash is nice and soft and beef is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add beans and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
