Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1 medium potato diced
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Stir in the carrots, celery, potato, and green beans. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  6. If using, stir in the fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
