Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 Celery stalks, sliced
- 2 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 15-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 6 cups Beef broth
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1.5 cups Frozen green beans
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker.
Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, and canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the slow cooker.
Pour the beef broth over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Add the bay leaves and dried thyme to the slow cooker. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen green beans and frozen corn. Allow the soup to continue cooking until the frozen vegetables are fully heated.
Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
