Recipe Tip:

Slow-Cooker Version: Brown meat, if desired. Omit water and use dried thyme option. In a 4 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker combine celery, onion, carrot, garlic, potatoes, turnips and sweet potatoes. Add meat. Combine broth, dried thyme, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and bay leaf; pour atop beef. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high heat setting for 5 to 6 hours. Remove bay leaf before serving.

Preparation

1.Trim fat from steak. Cut steak into 3/4-inch cubes. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook meat, half at a time, in hot oil until brown.

2.Add broth, the water; celery; onion; carrot, dried thyme, if using; Worcestershire sauce; garlic; pepper; and bay leaf.

3. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 1/4 hours or until meat is nearly tender. Discard bay leaf. Stir in potatoes, turnips, and sweet potato. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes more or until meat and vegetables are tender. Stir in fresh thyme, if using. If desired, serve with crackers.
