Instructions

Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, then remove and set aside.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and return the beef to the pot.
While the stew is simmering, prepare the dumplings. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the simmering stew.
Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Notes

Serve the beef stew and dumplings hot. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
