Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add diced turkey bacon and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Season beef with salt and pepper, then brown in batches until all sides are golden. Remove from pot and set aside.

Stir in flour and tomato paste, cooking until darkened slightly. Pour in beef broth while scraping up browned bits.
