Steps:
- Heat the oil and butter in a pan and brown the beef. Remove the beef from the pan, throw in the garlic and onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Pour in the beer, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, sugar, paprika, salt and some pepper. Then return the beef to the pan, cover and simmer on a low heat until the meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If the liquid level gets too low, add more broth as needed.
- Add the carrots, parsnips and turnips and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is reduced, about 30 minutes.
- If the stew is still too liquidy, remove a cup of cooking liquid from the pan and stir in the flour. Add the flour mixture back into the pan and stir. Simmer for 10 minutes until the stew is thick. The meat should be very tender; if it's tough, let it continue to cook.
- To finish, add the parsley and stir through the stew.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss beef with flour; season with salt and pepper. In a large (at least 7-quart) Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in two batches, shake off excess flour, and sear beef on all sides until browned, 8 to 10 minutes (use more oil for second batch, if needed). Transfer beef to a plate, and set aside (reserve pot).
- Add onion, celery, and garlic to pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine, and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot, until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Return browned beef to pot. Stir in tomatoes, thyme, bay leaves, and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 2 hours. (If liquid reduces too quickly, add a little more water.)
- With tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a large bowl. Pass remaining contents of pot through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl; discard solids. Return beef and strained liquid to pot; stir in winter vegetables. Simmer over medium-low, partially covered, until beef and vegetables are fork-tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more, stirring occasionally.

BEEF STEW WITH WINTER ROOT VEGETABLES
This is another winner from my old and trusty Bon Appetit magazine. I love this stew. And it's really easy to modify for your own tastes (which I have) I like potatoes in my stew, so I modified it to add them. I usually throw this all in a crock pot after I brown the beef. It makes a really delicious easy dinner or left over lunch. *Cooking times are approximate*

MOM'S BASIC VEGETABLE BEEF STEW
This basic recipe uses simple and often used ingredients. It can be spiced up any way, but our spices we have found bring out the best flavor and they are the key to this recipe. Ground pork or ground lamb can be substituted for ground beef. It can also be cooked on the stovetop, which we do, or slow cooker. Eat as a stew or serve over rice, crushed chips or crackers, or cornbread.

HEARTY WINTER VEGETABLE AND BEEF STEW (CROCK-POT)

Steps:
- Chop up potatoes, parsnips, turnips and carrots into 1 inch cubes. Don't chop them too small - you want big chunky veggies. (if you want, you can also add sweet potatoes or yams too!).
- Put the chopped potatoes, parsnips, turnips and carrots into the bottom of your crockpot, in that order.
- Chop up the beef into approximately 1 inch cubes, and then put it on top of the veggies.
- Squirt some Worcestershire sauce on top of the beef, and then sprinkle the steak spice and crushed garlic over top.
- Chop the onion into big chunks - do not separate the layers - and put them over top of the beef.
- Next cut up the green beans and celery into 1 inch long pieces, and put them on top of the onion.
- Throw the button mushrooms on the top (or you can use large mushrooms cut in half).
- Now mix the two cans of cream of mushroom soup and the 1/2 cup beef or vegetable broth together and dump it over top of the layers.
- Lastly, I put aluminum foil over top of my crockpot, and then the lid because my lid doesn't fit tightly. If you want this to cook up nicely, you don't want to let any of the heat out.
- Cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours.
- Before you eat, ladle out the liquid and put into a pot with the gravy thickener and make a gravy base for the stew (otherwise it will be more soupy).
- While you're making the gravy, throw the frozen peas into the crockpot and stir it up.
- When the gravy is ready, pour it back into the crockpot, stir it all up, and it's ready to be eaten!
