Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the vegetables.
Slowly add beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
Return the beef to the pot, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 1.5 hours.
Add carrots, potatoes, and celery to the pot. Stir well, cover, and cook for another 1 hour, until vegetables and beef are tender.
Remove from oven, discard bay leaves, and stir in frozen peas. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For deeper flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding.
You can substitute red wine for part of the beef broth if desired.
Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day.
Great for freezing in individual portions.
