Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. In a Ziploc bag, combine 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Add 1 pound of beef stew meat, seal, and shake to coat.
  3. Add coated beef stew meat to the pot in a single layer. Sear for 4-5 minutes, turning until browned on all sides.
  4. Slowly pour in 4 cups of beef broth while stirring to deglaze the pot, scraping any browned bits. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add 3 chopped carrots and 2 bay leaves, bringing the stew back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove bay leaves before serving.
  7. Prepare fluffy mashed potatoes by boiling peeled and chopped russet potatoes until tender. Mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
  8. Serve the piping hot Irish stew alongside the mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
