Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the stewing beef with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the pot and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), and green beans. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Stir in the corn and peas, and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until heated through.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
