Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and transfer the beef to a plate.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat with the oil and onion mixture. Cook for 5 minutes to let them start softening.
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Mix well to combine.
Return the browned ground beef to the skillet, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat them through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot in bowls for a hearty, satisfying meal.
