Brown the Beef: In a large pot, brown the beef cubes. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, cook the onion until translucent. Add carrots, potatoes, and pumpkin, cooking for a few minutes.

Pro Tips:
Brown the beef in batches to ensure it gets a good sear, which adds depth to the stew's flavor.
Adding the fruits towards the end of cooking preserves their texture and adds a subtle sweetness to the dish.
