Directions

  1. 1

    Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss beef in flour mixture. 

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess flour from the beef and brown in small batches. Remove and set aside in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Add the onions to the pot, adding more oil as needed, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add beef broth and red wine while scraping up any brown bits in the pan.

  5. 5

    Stir in browned beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, tomato paste, and rosemary. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour or until beef is tender (up to 90 minutes).

  6. 6

    Mix equal parts cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the boiling stew to reach desired consistency (you may not need all of the slurry, if you'd like a thicker stew, you can add extra).  

  7. 7

    Stir in peas and simmer 5-10 minutes before serving . Season with salt & pepper to taste.
