Instructions

Put a Dutch oven or heavy-based pan on medium heat and then add olive oil.
When the pan is hot, add the meat. Cook it until it releases its juices and they reduce again, about 10 minutes. Let the meat brown nicely.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant.
Toss in the diced carrots, potatoes, tomato paste, peas, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine with the meat and onions. Cook for a few minutes to allow the tomato paste to deepen in flavor.
Add the water or vegetable stock, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
Continue to simmer the stew for another 1 hour 15-20 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Notes

Using a good cut of meat is key. Beef chuck or leg of lamb works well because they become tender with slow cooking.
Don't rush the stew, let it simmer gently to help the flavors meld together and make the meat tender.
If the stew is too thick, add a bit more broth. If it’s too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a bit longer to reduce the liquid.
If using frozen peas, add them towards the end of the cooking period, when the meat and vegetables are almost cooked.
