Directions
Toss beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 4 to 5-qt. saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown beef, working in 3 batches, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with flour; set aside.
Add wine to pan, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until wine is reduced by about half. Stir in broth and thyme.
Add meat and any remaining flour to pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour. Stir in onions and carrots and cook, uncovered, 1 hour. Add peas and warm through, about 1 minute. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
VARIATION: Prepare as recipe directs, except:
- For Mushroom Beef Stew, add 2 cups whole white or brown mushrooms with carrots and onions in Step 3.
