Ingredients:
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds stew beef, lean, cut into small pieces
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onion

- 2 cups sliced carrot
- 2 cups diced turnip
- 1 large potato, cut in cubes

Preparation:
Toss stew beef pieces with the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add to the bacon mixture. Add olive oil. Add mushrooms, celery, and onion.
