Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 medium turnip, peeled and cubed
• 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
• 1 cup frozen green beans, thawed
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper evenly. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, searing each side until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the turnip and mushrooms, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly to coat the vegetables.

Step 6

Return the beef cubes to the pot along with any juices. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow to cook for approximately 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.

Step 8

Add the green beans in the last 10 minutes of cooking, allowing them to heat through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
