Ingredients
  

2 lbs beef short ribs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 medium potatoes, diced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice

6 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sear the Meat: In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear the short ribs until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove them from the pot and set aside.

    Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the diced potatoes, green beans, can of diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Stir well to combine.

          Return Short Ribs: Place the seared short ribs back into the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

            Simmer: Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds apart.

              Final Touches: Once the beef is cooked, gently break the short ribs apart in the pot using a fork. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy your hearty beef short rib and vegetable soup!
