Ingredients

• 2 lbs Beef chuck, cubed
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 Carrots, peeled and sliced into chunks
• 3 Celery stalks, chopped
• 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Red wine (optional)
• 2 Bay leaves
• 3 Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chunks with salt and black pepper. Lightly coat them in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chunks in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and transfer to a slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Add the carrots, celery, and baby potatoes to the slow cooker, spreading them evenly over the beef.

Step 5

Pour the beef broth and red wine (if using) into the slow cooker. Add the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 7

About 15 minutes before the stew is finished, add the frozen peas and stir them into the stew. Allow them to heat through.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
