Preparation
1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then brown in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the onions and cook until softened. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.

3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and the browned beef. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf.

4. Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender.

5. Add Vegetables: Add carrots and potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

6. Thicken (Optional): If you want a thicker stew, mix flour with a bit of cold water to form a slurry, then stir it into the stew and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.

7. Serve: Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
