Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef stew meat
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 3 celery stalks sliced
  • 2 potatoes diced
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Ladle
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large pot; brown beef on all sides and set aside.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
  3. Return beef, add broth, tomatoes, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Bring to boil, then simmer 30 minutes.
  4. Add green beans, corn, herbs, and seasoning. Simmer 10–15 minutes more.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with parsley and crusty bread.

Notes

Use chuck roast for the most tender, flavorful beef.
Deglaze the pot with a splash of broth or wine after searing for richer flavor.
Make it thicker: Simmer uncovered a bit longer to reduce the broth.
Add depth: A spoonful of tomato paste or Worcestershire sauce boosts umami.
For slow cookers: Combine all ingredients and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours.
