Ingredients
1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to combine.
Return the browned beef to the pot.
Add the potatoes, carrots, beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf and stir in the frozen peas.
Cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot.
