Ingredients

1 lb (450g) lean beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, sliced

3 medium potatoes, diced (about 1.5 cups)

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

4 cups beef broth

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 bay leaves

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Sear the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and sear it until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Add Remaining Veggies: Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot. Stir for another 5 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.

Combine Ingredients: Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, green beans, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Final Touches: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your hearty harvest beef soup!
