Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery sliced
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the sliced carrots, celery, green beans, diced tomatoes, beef broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. After 1 hour, add the frozen peas and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth.
• Avoid overcooking the vegetables to maintain their texture.
• Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
Food Safety:
• Ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before consuming.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking and consume within 3-4 days.
