Heat olive oil in a large saute skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme; cook about 2 minutes until onions are tender.
Place flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl; add beef; toss gently to coat.
Add beef to skillet and cook, turning occasionally until the beef is browned and golden around the edges, about 5 minutes.
Add Marsala wine; scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Line the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
Transfer beef mixture to the slow cooker. Add squash, sun-dried tomatoes and broth/stock; stir to combine. Cover; cook on High 4 - 5 hours or Low 8 hours until the beef and squash are tender.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread.
