Ingredients:
1 lb (450g) beef stew meat (or use plant-based protein like lentils for a vegetarian version)
4 cups beef or vegetable broth (low-sodium recommended)
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 parsnip, peeled and sliced
1 cup celery, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 cup green beans, chopped
1 cup kale or spinach, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by chopping the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, including potatoes, carrots, parsnips, celery, onion, and garlic. Set them aside.
Brown the Meat (if using): In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat and set it aside. If you’re making a vegetarian version, you can skip this step and directly start with the vegetables.
