Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat. Spread out the flour on a large plate. Working in batches, coat the beef in the flour, shake off the excess flour and add to the dutch oven. Cook, turning occasionally, until nicely browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

2. Add the pancetta to the dutch oven and stir well. Add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the tomatoes, wine, and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the dutch oven and cover tightly. Reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is almost tender, about 2 hours.

4. Add the potatoes and carrot and cook until the beef and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes more. Add the peas and cook until they are tender, about 7 minutes (about 3 minutes for thawed frozen peas). Stir in the parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
