Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the cubed beef with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Sear the beef in batches, browning on all sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Return the beef to the pot and add the diced potatoes, green beans, canned diced tomatoes with their juice, and beef broth.
Stir in the bay leaves, dried thyme, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, check the beef and vegetables for tenderness. If needed, simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Remove the bay leaves, taste the soup, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
