Dice one onion.

Season the beef stew meat with salt only, avoiding other seasonings to prevent burning during searing.

Brown the beef on all sides for about 5 to 8 minutes, then remove it from the pot.

Add onions and carrots to the pot, along with more avocado oil, and stir.

Add 2 tablespoons of garlic paste and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the veggies and mix well.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the raw flour taste is gone.

Pour in 3 cups of beef stock and increase the heat to high to bring to a rolling simmer.

Add in fresh herbs: rosemary, thyme, and 2 bay leaves, along with the browned beef.

Cover and simmer on medium-low for about 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender, checking periodically.

In the last 30 minutes, add the potatoes and celery to the pot.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper as desired.

Add frozen peas in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
