Total Time: 1 hour 55 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 1 medium onion, finely diced (1 1/2 cups)
• 8 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 14 oz can diced tomatoes
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1 cup green beans, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat a sturdy soup pot or Dutch oven with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single
   layer and sear until golden brown on all sides. If necessary, sear in batches for an optimal sear.
2. Incorporate the diced onions into the beef, continuing to cook for approximately 3 minutes until the
   onions are softened and acquire a light golden hue.
3. Introduce beef broth, canned tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and
   then reduce the heat to simmer. Partially cover and cook until the beef reaches a tender consistency,
   typically 55-75 minutes.*
4. Add diced potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
5. Integrate green beans and green onions, allowing them to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Conclude the culinary journey by adding chopped parsley, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper,
   and removing the pot from the heat.

Notes: Beef cooking time may vary based on the size of the beef pieces and the type of beef
used. Ensure the beef reaches a fork-tender texture before concluding the cooking process.
