Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 300 grams beetroots, peeled and diced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 liter low-sodium beef broth
- 500 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and sear them until browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the beef cubes and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Return the beef to the pot and add the diced beetroots, sliced carrots, chopped celery, bay leaf, fresh thyme, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and water, stirring well. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 6
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Step 7
Taste the soup and add salt if needed. Adjust other seasonings as desired.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and discard.
Step 9
Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
Step 10
Serve the soup hot, garnished with a touch more parsley if desired.
