In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, celery, and potato, cooking for another 5 minutes to begin softening the vegetables.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and allow to simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an optional burst of color and flavor. Pair with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
