Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 tbsp. Olive Oil
3 lbs. Beef Tenderloin, cut into cubes
2 cups sliced Shallots (~6 large shallots)
1 bag peeled baby Carrots
4 tsp. ground Cumin
3 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 tbsp. Flour
5 cups Beef Broth
1/2 cup chopped, fresh Mint

Directions:
Directions:
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in large skillet or Dutch Oven over high heat.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef cubes. Depending on the size of your skillet or Dutch Oven you may want to do the beef in 2 batches.
Add beef to the skillet or Dutch Oven and saute until cooked to your desired doneness, about 3 minutes for medium-rare and longer for well done.
Remove beef and place in a bowl.
Add remaining olive oil to skillet and add shallots and carrots and saute until golden - usually about 3-5 minutes. Add in all the spices and stir well. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for about 30 seconds - 1 minute. Stir in beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes or so.
Add the beef back into the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens a bit.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1/3 cup of the chopped mint.
Serve stew in bowls and sprinkle some chopped mint on top of each before serving.

Personal Notes:
You can use a different cut of meat than the tenderloin and just need to simmer it in the sauce for a longer period of time to ensure it is tender.
