- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 stalks celery, chopped, to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 6 cups beef broth, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
- Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Add 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed, 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of corn, drained, and 1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until green beans are tender.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of steak sauce before serving (optional, for extra richness).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
