To make this stew, I started by pouring some beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, thyme, oregano and a bay leaf into a Crock Pot.

I whisked the ingredients together well.

I cut a beef chuck roast into one inch cubes.

I seasoned the beef cubes with salt and pepper.

I heated some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the oil was hot I added the beef cubes to the skillet.

I stirred the beef around to make sure the pieces were seared on all sides.

Then I transferred the seared beef pieces to the Crock Pot.

I added some chopped carrots, potatoes and onions to the pot.

I stirred to combine all of the ingredients.

I placed the lid on the pot and left it to cook on LOW for seven hours.

In the last fifteen minutes of cooking time, I removed the bay leaf and added some frozen peas to the pot.

I stirred the peas into the stew.

I returned the lid to the pot and left it to finish cooking.

When the stew was done cooking, I stirred it well one last time.

Then the hearty beef stew was ready to serve.

I ladled my soup into bowls and garnished it with fresh parsley.

I like to serve my stew with some fresh, crusty bread.
