Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef stew meat
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 units celery stalks, chopped
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 8 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 unit bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3 cups zucchini noodles (zoodles)
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the beef stew meat in batches to avoid overcrowding and brown them on all sides. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil, followed by the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, then stir in the tomato paste, bay leaf, and dried thyme. Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 90 minutes, or until the beef is tender.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles and frozen green beans. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for another 15 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and discard it.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
