  1. In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Stew

  1. Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, and red wine (if using). Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for added flavor.
  2. Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, celery, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Simmer the Stew

  1. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined. Stir occasionally and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a little more broth or water.

Step 5: Add the Peas and Serve

  1. If using, add the frozen peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  2. Once the beef is tender and the stew is flavorful, remove the bay leaves before serving.

Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy

  1. Ladle the beef stew into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
