This high-protein beef stew replaces potatoes with turnips and combines steak, celery, leeks and tomatoes in a savory broth. When divided into two portions, each serving provides an estimated 33 grams of protein.
Cutting the steak and turnip into evenly sized pieces helps them cook consistently. Simmer the stew until the turnip is fork-tender and the beef reaches the desired tenderness.
The recipe provides a complete, satisfying meal with protein, vegetables and broth in one bowl. It is especially useful for cooler days or meal preparation because the flavors continue to develop after the stew has rested.
