coarse salt and ground pepper
2 boxes (10 ounces each) frozen peas- thawed
-I added 8 ounces corn, 4 ounces green beans, and 8 ounces carrots, as well.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 5 quart dutch oven or heavy pot, toss beef with flour; stir in tomato paste. Add potatoes, onions, broth, beer, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cove and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Transfer pot to oven and cook covered until meat is fork tender (about 2 1/2 -3 hours). Stir in peas and any other frozen veggies you added. Season again with salt and pepper.

Serves 10.
