Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 400 g turnips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 240 ml beef broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the turnips and cut them into small cubes, similar in size to potato cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil, then add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cubed turnips, ensuring they're coated in the fragrant oil and onion mixture.
Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle with dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir everything well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnips are tender when pierced with a fork.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the turnips and sauce.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
