| 1. For the Stew: | 2. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. | 3. In a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and add the beef and braise it until browned on all sides (about 8 min total). | 4. Using a slotted spoon, remove the beef to a plate. | 5. Pour off most of the fat from the pan, return to the medium-high heat and sauté the onion, thyme and bay leaves until the onion begins to brown (about 6 min). | 6. Add garlic and cinnamon stick, cook 1 additional minute. | 7. Pour in the wine and vinegar and stir to dislodge any flavorful browned bits on the bottom of the pan. | 8. Transfer the contents to a slow cooker with the meat, carrots, tomatoes and stock. | 9. Cover and cook on low setting for approx 5 hours. | 10. Add the pumpkin or squash chunks over the top of the beef, recover and continue to cook the stew for 3 more hours. The beef and pumpkin should be very tender. | 11.
