- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray (30 x 40 cm) with baking paper and set aside.
- Cut a round lid (approx. 10-12 cm diameter) from the top of the pumpkin and set aside. Remove seeds and stringy flesh and discard. Place butter, sugar, salt and ½ teaspoon pepper inside base of pumpkin. Place pumpkin onto prepared baking tray and bake for 60 minutes (180°C). Meanwhile, continue with beef stew preparation.
- Place steak, flour and remaining ½ teaspoon pepper into a large snap lock plastic bag. Seal bag and shake to coat, then set aside.
- Place onion, celery, garlic, rosemary and sage into mixing bowl and chop 5 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.
- Add oil and sauté 5 min/Varoma/speed 2.
- Add all remaining ingredients, including reserved floured beef, and cook 25 min/100°C//speed 1.
- Remove pumpkin from oven and carefully scoop out cooked pumpkin flesh, keeping a 3 cm border of pumpkin around all sides. Transfer pumpkin flesh into a sealable container and set aside to cool.
- Using a ladle, carefully transfer stew into cooked pumpkin shell. Replace reserved pumpkin lid on top of stew and return to oven to bake for a further 1- 1½ hours (180°C) or until stew and pumpkin are cooked to your preference. To serve, spoon stew into serving bowls, scraping the sides of the pumpkin shell to include baked pumpkin (see Tips).
