Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 medium, sliced carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Season the beef with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the beef cubes, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, browning all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

Step 5

Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom to deglaze the pot.

Step 6

Add the bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

After 1.5 hours, add the carrots, potatoes, and remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 10 minutes, uncovered, until all vegetables and beef are tender.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a complete meal.
