2Tbspwhole wheat flour
1/4cupwater(plus more to deglaze the pot as needed)
4cupsbone broth(I use a homemade mildly salty broth)
4medium potatoes,chopped
1cupgreen peas
Instructions
Pat the beef dry to remove moisture before searing. Add salt.
Heat oil in a large pot until it glistens, and brown the beef on medium-high heat. Don’t overcrowd the pot; brown the beef in batches for a good sear.
Remove all beef and deglaze the pan with water, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot.
Add rosemary, thyme, onions, garlic, and carrots, and sauté until the onion is softened.
Return the beef to the pot.
Make a slurry by mixing the whole wheat flour and water together in a small bowl.
Add the slurry and butter to the pot and stir until fully incorporated.
Pour in the bone broth, potatoes, and green peas.
Cover and simmer for 60 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Uncover and simmer for 15 more minutes to allow the stew to thicken.

Notes
-You can salt the beef in advance and leave it overnight to help flavor and tenderize it.-Use less salt if your bone broth is highly salty (mine is not).
