-
4 turnips, cut into bite-sized pieces
-
2 parsnips, cut into bite-sized into pieces
-
1 cup tomato paste
-
6 cups beef broth

4 dried bay leaves

4 lb Mariposa Ranch Grass Fed Beef Stew Meat
-
2 tsp kosher salt

Directions
-
Place the onions, carrots, celery, red potatoes, turnips, parsnip, tomato paste, beef broth, dried thyme, dried parsley, oregano and dried bay leaves into a large slow cooker.
-
Toss the stew meat with salt and pepper until it is fully coated. Set the meat aside.
-
Over medium heat, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant is released.
-
Add the stew meat and let the beef cook without stirring for a few minutes to allow the meat to brown on one side. Stir and repeat until all sides of the beef are browned.
-
Add the cooked beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the vegetables.
-
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. After 6 hours, taste the stew and adjust the salt if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley.
