Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge beef pieces in the mixture.
  2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the dredged beef in batches until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes until golden.
  4. Deglaze the pot with beef broth and red wine, scraping up browned bits for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the beef to the pot and add potatoes, carrots, celery, tomato paste, and rosemary. Stir to combine and cover.
  6. Simmer on medium-low heat for 1 to 1.5 hours until beef is tender.
  7. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir into the stew, simmering for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  8. In the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, add peas and cook until heated through.
