Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the beef stew meat. Sear the meat on all sides until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring it coats the vegetables and meat evenly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary. Stir everything together.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for 75-85 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.
Add the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir to combine.
Season the soup stew with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve the soup stew hot with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for an extra hearty meal.
