• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

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 stew meat with salt and black pepper, then sear it in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots, diced celery, and cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine and let cook for 3 minutes.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in 4 cups of beef broth. Stir in the tomato paste until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring the stew to a boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 75 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

After 75 minutes, remove the lid, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in the frozen peas and let cook for another 5-10 minutes until the peas are heated through.

Step 10

Discard the bay leaf, garnish the stew with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread or over rice if desired.
