Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 pounds stew beef cubes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 medium russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper, then add them in batches to the pot. Sear the beef 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. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot, then pour in the beef broth.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes, green beans, thyme, and oregano to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 60-70 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

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