Start this in the morning, it cooks all day
In everywhere except Scotland and Atlantic Canada, these turnips are called swedes, rutabagas, or "wax turnips." They are bigger than a softball, purple outside and light orange inside.

Steps
- Cut turnip into approximate 1" cube chunks, place in Instant Pot, just barely cover with water, lid on, pressure cook for 20 minutes.
- Partially defrost steak so it's easy to make approximate 1" cubes.
- Cut up carrots into approximate 1" chunks, cut onions in half, peel garlic, all into a big bowl.
- If the turnips aren't soft, give them another 10 minutes. When they're done, dump turnip and its water into the bowl.
- Set Insant Pot to Sautée and add cooking oil
- Dredge beef in flour & pepper mix, brown on all sides in batches. Add to the big bowl as you do a batch. Keep the leftover flour & pepper.
- Put beef, vegetables, instant gravy package, bay leaf and 2 tbl of the leftover flour and pepper mix, cover with cold water and stir well to fully dissolve the flour & gravy powder.
- Option 1: set Instant Pot to Slow Cook Medium for 8 hours until supper. Option 2: put the pressure lid back on and cook for ¾ hour.
- Serve with mashed, rice or french fries.
