Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2
Prepare Pumpkin

Cut the top off the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and strings. Set aside.

3
Season Beef

Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.

4
Brown Beef

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides.

5
Chop Vegetables

Peel and chop the carrots and onion. Slice the celery. Mince the garlic.

6
Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the chopped vegetables and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

7
Deglaze Pan

Pour red wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 2 minutes.

8
Combine Ingredients in Pumpkin

Place the browned beef, sautéed vegetables, fresh thyme, and beef broth into the hollowed-out pumpkin. Stir to combine.

9
Bake

Place the pumpkin lid back on. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the pumpkin flesh is soft.

10
Serve

Carefully transfer the pumpkin to a serving dish. Scoop the stew along with some of the cooked pumpkin flesh to serve.
