In a large pot, brown the beef stew meat over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and minced garlic; sauté until softened.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes.
Add green beans, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Reduce heat and let simmer for 45 minutes.
Check for tenderness of beef; it should be fork-tender.
Adjust seasoning to taste as needed.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
