Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef chuck, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed beef chuck and brown the meat on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and celery, and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the pot, and add the diced potatoes and green beans. Stir to combine the ingredients.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and beef broth, ensuring the vegetables and meat are covered with liquid.
Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir the soup well.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
