Chef Tips

  • Browning is Key: Don’t skip or rush browning the beef; it builds deep flavor. Ensure the pot is hot, and avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
  • Deglazing Option: A splash of sherry or red wine when deglazing adds complexity. If avoiding alcohol, try a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
  • Thawing Peas: Thaw peas in the fridge or under cool running water to preserve their bright color and texture.
  • Make Ahead: This dish tastes even better the next day. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water.

Optional Variations

  • Vegetable Swap: Replace peas with green beans or add diced potatoes with the carrots for a heartier dish.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the tomatoes for subtle heat.
  • Herb Boost: Stir in fresh parsley or rosemary at the end for a fresh, aromatic finish.

Directions

  1. Peel and cut the carrots into large chunks, roughly into ¼. If using beef steak or chuck roast (instead of stewing beef) cut the beef into bite-size chunks, about 1 ½ inch (3 to 4cm) pieces. Season the beef chunks generously with salt and black pepper, toss with a tablespoon of all-purpose flour.

  2. Heat a bit of oil in heavy pot (cast-iron works great) over medium heat until shimmering. Add the beef, and brown well on all sides.

  3. Add the tomatoes, scrape up any accumulated fond. Sometimes we’ll deglaze with a bit of sherry before adding the tomatoes. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the peas. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours.

  4. Stir in the peas and heat through.
