Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a resealable plastic bag, combine the beef, flour, salt, and pepper. Shake well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the beef on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the bottom of a slow cooker. Return the skillet to the heat, add the sweet potato, potato, celery, turnip, and parsnip. Sauté for 5 minutes. Pour the balsamic vinegar into the hot skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the vegetables and pan sauce to the slow cooker. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Return the skillet to the heat and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent. (5 minutes). Add the cooked onion to the slow cooker.

04

Step

In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic, beef bouillon cube, and rum. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the bouillon cube is fully dissolved and the sugar is melted. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the liquid mixture into the slow cooker over the beef and vegetables.

06

Step

Cover and cook on High for 1 hour, then reduce the heat to Low and cook for an additional 6 hours, or until the beef is very tender and the vegetables are cooked through. (7 hours)

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.
