Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds beef bottom round roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil, divided
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 1 celery rib, chopped
- 1/3 cup red wine

- 1 pound carrots, diced
- 2 medium turnips (about 12 ounces total), peeled and diced
Directions
1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Chop garlic again with salt. Press with side of knife to form a paste; mix in pepper. Rub paste onto beef in a large bowl.
3. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half the beef and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until browned on all sides. Transfer to another bowl. Repeat with remaining beef and 2 teaspoons more oil.
