Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat in batches, searing it on all sides until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, then add the carrots, celery, turnip (or rutabaga), thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra texture and flavor, you can add more low-carb vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or cauliflower.
Try using lamb or pork in place of beef for a different flavor profile.
If you’d like a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
If you’re watching your sodium intake, use low-sodium broth or homemade bone broth for a healthier base.
