In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss the beef stewing meat in the mixture until well-coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and brown on all sides. Remove the browned beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot and stir lightly to combine.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavour.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, bringing it to a gentle boil.
Add the bay leaf and dried thyme. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check to ensure the meat and vegetables are tender.
Add the frozen peas in the final 10 minutes of cooking and stir to combine.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the beef stew hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
