Step 1

Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season all over with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large stock pot over medium heat, heat the oil. Working in batches (mine needed 2), add the beef and sear on all sides until golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and continue browning until all the meat is browned, adding more oil and adjusting the heat as necessary.

Step 3

Add a bit more oil to the pot and add the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Then add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, careful not to burn. Add the beef back to the pot, then tomato paste and arrowroot flour and stir to coat the beef and veggies.

Step 4

Stir in the broth slowly, scraping the browned bits at the bottom of the pot. Add the rosemary, thyme and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer at medium-low heat. Simmer until the beef is tender, about 45 minutes, then add in the turnips and continue to simmer until tender, about 35 more minutes. Discard the thyme, rosemary and bay leaves and garish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired before serving.
