🥕 Ingredients

For the soup base:

• 500g (1 lb) beef stew meat (cut into bite-sized cubes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 cups water

Vegetables:

• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 cup green beans (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup corn kernels (optional)
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

Seasoning:

• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste

🍲 Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Sear the Beef

Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches (don’t overcrowd the pot) and sear them until browned on all sides.

Why this matters: Browning the beef locks in flavor and adds a rich, deep taste to the broth.

Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside.
