1. Coat beef with flour, shaking off excess. In a large nonstick pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef; saute until browned, about 6 minutes. Place on a plate.
2. Add onions and mushrooms to pot; saute for 6 minutes. Add garlic; saute, stirring for 1 minute. Pour off fat. Return beef to pot; stir in tomato paste, then broth. Add enough water to just cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until beef is tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
3. Skim off any foam. Add carrots, potatoes, and green beans. Cover partially; simmer for 15 minutes. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water; stir into stew. Increase heat and boil uncover for 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
