Instructions:
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant and translucent.
- Brown the Beef: Add cubed beef stew meat and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in sliced carrots, diced celery, and cubed potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Combine and Simmer: Pour in diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Add dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Finish with Frozen Vegetables: Stir in frozen peas and corn during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the stew is thick and flavorful, remove the bay leaf and discard. Serve piping hot in bowls, with crusty bread for dipping if desired.
