In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.

Dredge the beef stew meat in the flour mixture, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 7

During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas and stir to combine. Cover and continue cooking.

Step 8

Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
