Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy skillet over medium heat.
Brown the cubed beef in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Remove the beef cubes and set them aside.
In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the beef broth, Burgundy wine, tomato paste, bay leaf, and dried thyme.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake the stew for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
During the last 10 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the bay leaf before serving, and enjoy your diabetic-friendly oven stew warm!
