Ingredients

6 servings

2 lb beef chuck roast, cut into 1½-inch cubes
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 stalks celery, sliced into ½-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 cups beef bone broth
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp arrowroot powder
2 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and black pepper.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer, working in two batches to avoid crowding, and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.
