Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, chopped
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 6 cups Beef broth, low sodium
• 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 15-ounce can Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 cups Spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Stir in sliced carrots, chopped celery, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the hot pot simmer for 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender.

Step 6

Add the black beans, kidney beans, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf. Garnish the hot pot with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
