Ingredients
  

1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 medium potato, cubed

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juice

5 cups beef broth

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat, seasoning with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

    Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add the carrots, celery, bell pepper, and potato to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.

        Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), Worcestershire sauce, thyme, basil, and the bay leaf. Stir to combine.

          Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.

            During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the green beans and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

              Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
