  3. Sauté the chopped onions, carrots, and celery in the same pot for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well, letting it cook for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Gradually pour in the beef broth and water while stirring to prevent lumps, then add Worcestershire sauce, crumbled bouillon cubes, and tomato paste.
  7. Return the seared beef along with any juices to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
  8. Cover and let simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  9. Add cubed potatoes and let simmer uncovered for another 20-25 minutes.
  10. Stir in the frozen peas, cooking until heated through, then adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

Don't skip patting the beef dry before searing for the best browning. Wait to add peas towards the end to maintain their bright color and texture.
