Preparation Steps
- **Prepare Your Ingredients**
- - Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform chunks.
- - Slice the radishes into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- - Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- **Cut the Beef**
- - Trim any excess fat from the beef and cut it into bite-sized pieces. This ensures a consistent texture throughout the soup.
Cooking Instructions

- - Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the beef and sear until browned on all sides. This step locks in flavor.

- **Simmer to Perfection**
- - Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- **Season and Garnish**
- - Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
