In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to the crock pot.
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Slice the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the crock pot along with the cooked ground beef.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the beef broth. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the crock pot to thicken the stew as it cooks.
Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Thirty minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas. Allow them to heat through as the stew finishes cooking.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a filling meal.
