• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 units celery stalks, sliced

• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3 units fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 unit fresh rosemary sprig
• 2 units bay leaves
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 0.25 cups chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss the beef cubes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring all sides are seared. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to lightly caramelize.

Step 6

Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and stir in the tomato paste until fully combined.

Step 7

Add the thyme sprigs, rosemary, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After 1.5 hours, remove the thyme, rosemary sprig, and bay leaves. Stir in the frozen peas and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot in bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy your herbed beef stew!
