Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound beef stew meat
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 6 cups beef broth
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef stew meat with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the beef to the pot in batches, searing for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to incorporate.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot along with the diced potatoes, green beans, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), bay leaf, thyme, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 60-70 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

Stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Discard the bay leaf, taste the stoup, and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
