  6. Stir in chopped carrots, potatoes, parsnips, and celery. Combine well.
  7. Season with dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir gently.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 2 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  9. After 2 hours, remove bay leaf and adjust seasoning as needed.
  10. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
