Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

• 1 pound (450 g) beef stew meat (cut into bite-sized cubes)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup green beans, chopped
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 can (14.5 oz / 400 g) diced tomatoes
• 6 cups beef broth (or water with beef bouillon)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Wash and peel the carrots and potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Dice the onion, slice the celery, and chop the green beans.
3. Mince the garlic.
4. Cut the beef into cubes if not already done.

Having everything prepped before cooking ensures a smooth and stress-free process.

Step 2: Brown the Beef

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Add the beef cubes in a single layer (do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
3. Brown the meat on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. This step locks in the flavor and gives your soup a rich base.
4. Remove the browned beef from the pot and set aside.
