Cut the chuck roast into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces and coat them with the flour mixture.

Brown the meat in batches for about 2 minutes on each side, then remove from the pot.

Add more oil if needed, then sauté 1 chopped yellow onion for 2 minutes, scraping the brown bits.

Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds.

Pour in 4 cups of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, mixing to dissolve the paste.

Return the browned meat to the pot along with its juices and bring to a simmer.

Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Add chopped carrots and celery, mixing them in, and cook for another 10 minutes.

Add yellow potatoes and cook for an additional 25 to 30 minutes until everything is tender.

Optionally, stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and chopped parsley before serving.
