- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 units celery stalks, sliced

- 3 units fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss the beef cubes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring all sides are seared. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to lightly caramelize.
Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and stir in the tomato paste until fully combined.
Add the thyme sprigs, rosemary, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 1.5 hours, remove the thyme, rosemary sprig, and bay leaves. Stir in the frozen peas and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot in bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy your herbed beef stew!
