    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced potatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

    Return the beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour.

  5. 5

    Add Green Beans

    After an hour, add the trimmed green beans to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until all vegetables are tender.
