Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless beef chuck or stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Sear the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot. Sear until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
  • Cook the Vegetables: In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Build the Soup: Return the beef to the pot. Add the potatoes, beef broth, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  • Add Peas and Season: Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Variations: Add other vegetables like green beans, corn, or cabbage for extra flavor and texture.
