Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 2 pounds (0.9 kilograms) beef stew meat

Vegetables and Herbs:

  • 1 medium onion, 1.5 cups finely diced
  • 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup green beans, cut into bite size pieces
  • ½ cup green onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup parsley, chopped

Liquids and Seasonings:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 cups beef broth, low sodium
  • 14 ounces (397 grams) can diced tomatoes
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Arrange beef pieces in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Brown the meat thoroughly on all sides, working in batches if necessary to achieve a deep, caramelized sear.
  2. Add diced onions to the browned beef and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and develop a light golden color.
  3. Pour in tomato sauce, carefully place bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper. Add beef broth to create a rich, flavorful liquid base. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot partially and let it cook for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the beef becomes tender and easily falls apart.
  4. While the beef simmers, prepare the vegetables. Peel and chop potatoes into 1-inch (2.5 centimeters) cubes, slice carrots into half-inch (1.3 centimeters) rounds, and dice celery into small pieces. Add these vegetables to the pot and continue simmering for 20 minutes.
  5. Incorporate fresh green beans and additional chopped onions into the stew. Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until all vegetables are tender but still maintain their texture.
  6. Finish the stew by stirring in freshly chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and let the flavors meld for a few minutes before serving.
