Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 2 celery stalks
• 3 garlic cloves
• 4 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes, trimming off excess fat.

Step 2

Peel and dice the onion. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/2-inch rounds. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Slice the celery stalks. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Lightly dredge the beef cubes in the flour and sear them in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.

Step 4

Layer the onion, carrots, potatoes, and celery over the beef in the crock pot.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Pour the broth mixture over the meat and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Cover and let cook for the remaining time.

Step 9

Serve the beef stew hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
