Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in sliced carrots, chopped celery, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the hot pot simmer for 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender.
Add the black beans, kidney beans, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf. Garnish the hot pot with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
