Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat (cut into bite-sized cubes)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion (chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 medium Carrots (peeled and sliced)
• 2 stalks Celery stalks (chopped)
• 2 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 cup Fresh green beans (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 cup Frozen corn
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 6 cups Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper, then add it to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.

Step 5

Return the browned beef to the pot, then add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, dried thyme, dried oregano, and bay leaf. Stir everything together.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 7

Stir in the green beans, frozen corn, and frozen peas. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the green beans are tender. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
