- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions
Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper and lightly coat them in the all-purpose flour.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches until all sides are golden brown. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.

Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, stirring occasionally if possible.
After cooking, remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot with bread or over rice for a satisfying meal.
