Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Working in batches, brown the beef in the hot oil until each side is well browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

Step 7

Return the browned beef to the pot along with any accumulated juices.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and stir in the bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

After 1.5 hours, add the potatoes to the pot and continue simmering for another 30 minutes, or until the beef and potatoes are tender.

Step 11

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the bay leaves, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Serve the stew hot and enjoy this wholesome, dairy-free meal.
