- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 1 cup frozen peas
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper, then dust with the flour to lightly coat.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, brown the beef on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot, then add the onions. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
Step 5
Return the beef to the pot along with the diced potatoes, beef broth, bay leaf, thyme sprigs, and tomato paste. Add the red wine if using.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Step 7
About 15 minutes before serving, add the frozen peas and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving.
Step 9
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
