Brown 2 pounds of chuck 2 inch or larger pieces of beef dredged in a little flour and salt and pepper in a little evoo, browning on all sides about 5 minutes or so in oven proof pot of choice....
Add 3 or 4 large chunked carrots, a really large or 2 small onions, wedged, at least 4 celery stalks and leaves in 2 inch pieces, and a good cup at least of butternut or any type of squash in chunks same size as carrots.....
Top with 1 can of low sodium beef broth, good quality, 1 can of crushed tomatoes, acid tenderizes beef, and a plop of worcestershire sauce, am guessing about 2 tsps of dried thyme, salt and pepper, if desired...
