For a richer flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Feel free to adjust the amount of rum to your preference, or substitute with beef broth for an alcohol-free version. If you don't have pineapple juice, you can substitute with orange juice or apple juice. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. Serve with crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce. Add other root vegetables, such as carrots, for extra flavor and nutrition.

Return the skillet to the heat, add the sweet potato, potato, celery, turnip, and parsnip. Sauté for 5 minutes.
