📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

2. Add the beef stew meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef and set it aside.

3. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.

4. Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

5. Return the browned beef to the pot, then add the crushed tomatoes and beef broth.

6. Stir in the dried oregano, dried thyme, bay leaf, and diced potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper.

7. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.

8. Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard it.

9. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

10. Garnish the soup with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
