Brown bite-size beef in a pot, add onion and enough liquid to simmer the meat until tender, then add celery so it does not turn mushy. Stir in the mint and parsley near the end to keep their fresh aroma noticeable.

Celery, mint and parsley beef stew brings together tender beef, celery and fresh herbs in a gently simmered, savoury broth. It is a home-style stew rather than a dish with one clearly established regional origin, and its simple ingredients make it easy to adapt to the season.
The celery gives the broth a mellow, earthy note, while mint and parsley keep the flavour fresh. Serve it hot with bread, potatoes or rice, as a main meal; a crisp salad makes a lighter-feeling accompaniment. Beef makes this a protein-rich option, with 13.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a less rich pot, use oil sparingly and let the vegetables and herbs carry more of the flavour.
