Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat
- 2 1/2 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 3/4 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)
- 1 1/4 cups peeled and chopped carrots (3 medium)
- 1 cup chopped celery (3 medium)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic (4 cloves)
- 8 cups low-sodium beef broth or chicken broth
- 2 (14 oz.) cans diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 lb red or yellow potatoes, chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 cups (5 oz.) chopped green beans (trim ends first)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Dab the beef dry using paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Add half the beef to the pot and brown for about 4 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer the beef to a plate, add another 1/2 Tbsp of oil to the pot, and repeat with the remaining beef.
- In the now-empty pot, add another 1 Tbsp of olive oil, followed by the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Pour in the broth and diced tomatoes, along with the browned beef, basil, oregano, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Add the potatoes and continue to simmer, covered, for another 20 minutes.
- Stir in the green beans and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until all the veggies and beef are tender. Add the corn and peas, simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Finally, stir in the parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Serve with crusty bread or buttery rolls to soak up the broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
