Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

2 medium potatoes, diced

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

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

4 cups beef broth

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sear the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper. Sear for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the seared beef back into the pot along with green beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, basil, and bay leaf. Stir to combine all ingredients.

          Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally, and add more broth if needed for desired consistency.

            Taste and Season: Once the beef is tender, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or additional herbs if necessary.

              Serve: Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy your hearty and comforting vegetable beef soup!
