Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper. Brown the meat in batches until all sides are well-seared, then remove from the pot and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and sauté for approximately 5 minutes, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
Return the browned beef to the pot and add the beef broth, bay leaves, dried thyme, and rosemary.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 90 minutes, or until the meat becomes tender.
After 90 minutes, add the cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.
Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves and discard them. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
