Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 large turnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Peel the turnips and cut them into small, 1/2-inch cubes.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the turnip cubes to the skillet, season with salt, and sauté for about 7-10 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown and tender. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 6
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until it's browned all over, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Dice the bell pepper and add it to the skillet, stirring for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Return the cooked turnips to the skillet with the beef and vegetables.
Step 9
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add the dried thyme, black pepper, and more salt to taste.
Step 10
Stir everything well and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 11
Thinly slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the dish.
Step 12
Top the skillet with shredded cheddar cheese and cover with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
Step 13
Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
