Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the minced beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Return the browned mince beef to the pot and stir to combine.
Stir in the tomato paste, then add the beef stock, canned chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and bring the stew to a simmer.
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 30 minutes, stir in the frozen peas and let the stew cook for another 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
