Carbonada Criolla

Beef chuck does the heavy lifting here, with butternut squash rounding it out. An Argentinian dinner that takes 90 minutes, start to finish. Each serving lands at 460 calories with 30g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Beef chuck
• 1.5 lb Butternut squash
• 2 cups Corn
• 2 Sweet potatoes
• 2 Peaches
• 1 Onion
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 1 tbsp Paprika

Steps

1. Brown the beef in batches — crowding the pot steams it grey instead of searing it brown.
2. Soften the onion, bloom the paprika, and return the beef with the broth to simmer 40 minutes.
3. Add the squash and sweet potatoes in big chunks; simmer 25 minutes until just tender.
4. Stir in the corn and the peaches — the fruit is the criollo signature, sweet against the savory.
5. Simmer 10 minutes more and serve in hollowed-out squash or deep bowls with crusty bread.
