Begin by preparing the vegetables. Dice the yellow onion, slice the celery stalks, peel and chop the carrots into small pieces, and peel and cube the russet potato into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set the vegetables aside.
Trim any excess fat from the Kansas City-style steak and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Season the steak cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the vegetables have softened.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes (including their juice). Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot to build flavor.
Add the cubed potato, frozen green beans, corn kernels, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to incorporate all ingredients.
Return the seared steak cubes to the pot, including any juices that have accumulated. Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the soup to simmer for 40-45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
