Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
• 5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.25 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, toss the beef stew meat in the flour until evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the seared beef to the crockpot.

Step 3

Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and garlic over the beef in the crockpot.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Pour the mixture over the meat and vegetables in the crockpot.

Step 5

Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 6

About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, stir in the frozen peas.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve the stew hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes, if desired.
