Dungeon Master

Step 1 In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2 Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 3 Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4 Return the beef stew meat to the pot. Add the beef broth and red wine. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5 Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 1-2 hours, until the beef is tender.

Step 6 Add the diced potatoes, diced parsnips, and frozen peas to the pot. Cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7 Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 8 Serve the Dungeon Master stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
