Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 large turnip, peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper evenly.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Once browned, remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Sauté them until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the celery and carrots, cooking them for another 5 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth and add the tomato paste, stirring until the paste is fully incorporated.
Add the worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot.
Return the beef to the pot and bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let it gently simmer for about 1 hour.
Add the turnip cubes to the pot, stirring to mix them in.
Continue simmering the stew for an additional 45-60 minutes or until the beef and turnips are tender.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
