  • Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat; brown the beef in the hot oil and remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the onion to the remaining oil and cook until browned. Pour the beef broth into the stockpot. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Return the beef to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 hour.

  • Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot. Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl and mix into the stew. Cover and simmer 45 minutes more. Stir in the frozen peas and cook another 15 minutes.

This was a great recipe. I did substitute mushrooms for the peas and I added a bit extra on the seasoning but other then that everything was great. Read More

With the exception of swapping fresh mushrooms for the peas I followed this recipe exactly. The vegetables were perfectly cooked the consistency was great but the stew didn't have one bit of flavor. I added some tomato paste and wine just before serving which helped a little. I'd like to try this recipe again; maybe to figure out what went wrong. Also personal preference but the cornstarch seemed to give the stew a slimy feel. No one else commented on that though. Read More

I followed the recipe as stated but didn't add the peas. It was easy to throw together and put in the crock pot for a busy day. After tasting added some A1 and worcheshire sauce. Read More

It was both easy to prepare and a excellent stew. I did substitute venison for the beef since deer season had been kind to me. Since I have no small kids I also added a bit of Worstchestire and Texas Pete to taste. I also didn't have any frozen peas but found a regular can of baby peas works well. Read More
