Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Stir in the carrots, celery, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
Return the beef to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour or until the beef is tender.
Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped thyme and parsley.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
