Ingredients
  

For the Stew
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can be substituted with canola or vegetable oil.
  • 1.5 pounds Beef Stew Meat Lamb is traditional, but beef is a great alternative.

  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary Can elevate the dish if fresh herbs are used.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 4 cups Beef Broth Can replace with vegetable broth.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch Oven over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Place the beef stew meat in a ziplock bag with all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh rosemary, and dried thyme. Seal the bag and shake until the meat is well-coated.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the coated meat to the pot and sear for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned.
  4. Gradually pour in the beef broth while scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Stir in chopped carrots and bay leaves, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer gently for about 45 minutes.
  6. Check on the stew occasionally and stir gently. After 30 minutes, the beef should be fork-tender.
  7. Five minutes before finishing, fold in frozen peas and let them cook until tender.
  8. Remove bay leaves, ladle stew into bowls, and serve with fluffy mashed potatoes.
