Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the beef chunks in batches, browning all sides well. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, ensuring all vegetables are well-coated.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and return the browned beef chunks to the pot.

Step 8

Add bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring everything together.

Step 9

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 10

About 10 minutes before serving, add the frozen peas into the stew and stir well.

Step 11

To thicken the stew, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Add this slurry to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until the stew thickens.
