Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the beef to the pot in batches, searing for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to incorporate.
Return the seared beef to the pot along with the diced potatoes, green beans, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), bay leaf, thyme, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 60-70 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through for 5 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf, taste the stoup, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
