Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 3 large Russet potato, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef cubes with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Working in batches, brown the beef cubes on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, then add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Step 7

Return the browned beef to the pot, then pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 8

Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, thyme, bay leaf, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Cover and simmer on low heat for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water to make a slurry. Slowly stir it into the stew to thicken the broth.

Step 11

Add the frozen peas and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
