Directions

Step 1

Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth.

Step 8

Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Step 10

Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaf and taste the stew, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Step 12

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
