Stir in green beans and simmer 15 minutes longer, or until all of the veggies and beef are tender.

Pour in corn and peas and simmer until heated through about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and serve warm.

Recipe Notes
*Look for a fatty marbled batch of stew meat, it will be more tender. Dice any larger chunks bite-size as needed.

**1 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning can be used in place of basil, oregano, and thyme.

***Fresh corn/peas can be used here as well, just add when adding green beans.
