Creating this incredible Beef Stew is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by cutting the beef into 1-inch pieces. Chop all vegetables and set them aside.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and season with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef.
3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil, the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
4. Deglaze the Pot: Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce to the veggies, stirring for about a minute to combine. This enhances the flavors.
5. Combine the Ingredients: Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, and add the potatoes, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
6. Simmer: Bring the stew to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. Check for Doneness: After the cooking time, check the beef for tenderness; it should easily break apart with a fork. If it’s not tender yet, continue simmering.
8. Add Peas: If using, stir in the frozen peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
9. Adjust Seasonings: Taste your stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
10. Serve: Remove the bay leaves and serve hot!
