How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides until well sealed, about 5 minutes, releasing a rich aroma.
2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes, until they release their sweet fragrance.
3. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Peel and cut the kohlrabi and celery root into evenly sized cubes. Add them to the pot and cook over low heat for another 30 minutes, until they become tender.
5. Cut the carrots and potatoes into similar cubes and add them to the pot along with the leek rings. Continue simmering for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are tender.
6. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, enhancing the dish's vibrant aroma.
