Preparation
  1. Start by chopping your vegetables and cutting the beef into manageable chunks.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Searing
  1. Add the beef chunks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Adding Vegetables
  1. Toss in the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and trimmed green beans. Stir and let cook for another 5 minutes.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
Simmering
  1. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
Final Touches
  1. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
