Peel carrots and butternut squash, slice the carrots (1.5cm), de-see, and dice the butternut squash (2x2cm).

Wash the kale and baby potatoes.
At the Barbecue:

Place the GBS Dutch Oven into the cooking grate and preheat for about 10 minutes.

Place the oiled beef chunks into the Dutch Oven, season with salt and pepper and cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning from time to time, until browned.

Remove the meat from the Dutch Oven and set aside.

Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the Dutch Oven, followed by onions and garlic.

As soon as the onions and garlic are soft, add the beef cubes and tomato paste and dust everything with flour.

Cook for 2-4 minutes, then deglaze with on third of the beef stock and cook until almost all liquid is gone.

Add the remaining stock, sieved tomatoes, herbs the Provence and bay leaf followed by ginger, carrots, butternut squash, kale and baby potatoes and change to indirect heat.

Season the stew with salt and pepper and cook covered for about 2- 2 ½ hours.
