Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
3 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1/4 cup flour
4 cups beef broth
2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup peas
1 teaspoon each of thyme and rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until softened.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned.
Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for a few minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables, stirring to coat. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Add the potatoes, peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve hot.
