Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the beef cubes dry and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned; transfer to a plate.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Sauté chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Return beef to pot, add sweet paprika, and stir to coat. Pour in beef broth, then add carrots, potatoes, and turnips. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 1.5 hours until beef is tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir in chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot with crusty bread.
