Hearty Beef Stew with Turnips, Potatoes, and Thyme
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the beef stew meat in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, turnip chunks, and potato chunks on top of the beef.
- Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper evenly over the vegetables and meat.
- Pour the beef broth over everything until the ingredients are mostly covered.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
Notes
If the broth seems thin at the end, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to let it reduce slightly. Leftovers taste even better the next day after the flavors have settled. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth if needed to loosen the texture.
