Begin by preparing your ingredients: Peel and chop the onion and garlic cloves; peel and dice the beetroots and carrots; and chop the celery stalks.
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck, and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced beetroots, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the browned beef cubes to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Add the bay leaf, sea salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 75 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
