3Dump the tomatoes into the slow cooker (juice and all). Crush them with a potato masher or the back of a spoon. Add the onions, celery, carrots and potatoes. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the veggies and then add the beef and any accumulated drippings. Pour 2 1/2 cups of the beef broth over the beef and veg. Give the mixture a quick stir. Add the bay leaves. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

5About 20 minutes before serving, add the peas (no need to defrost first), salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and remaining 1/2 cup of beef broth, creating a smooth paste. Stir into the stew. Replace the lid and cook until thickened (about 15-20 minutes). Remove bay leaves before serving.
