  4. Add another 1 Tbsp oil to now empty pot then add onions, carrots, and celery then saute 3 minutes, add garlic saute 1 minute longer.
  5. Pour in broth, tomatoes, browned beef, basil, oregano, thyme and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring once or twice throughout, for 30 minutes.
  7. Add potatoes then continue to simmer, covered, 20 minutes (you can also add green beans with potatoes if you like them very soft).
  8. Stir in green beans and simmer 15 minutes longer, or until all of the veggies and beef are tender.
  9. Pour in corn and peas and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  10. Stir in parsley and serve warm.

Notes:

  • Look for a fatty marbled batch of stew meat, it will be more tender. Dice any larger chunks bite-size as needed.
  • 1 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning can be used in place of basil, oregano, and thyme.
  • Fresh corn/peas can be used here as well, just add when adding green beans.
