  4. Pour the beef broth over the ingredients and add the tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary.
  5. Generously season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Give everything a good stir to mix the ingredients and distribute the seasonings evenly.
  7. Cover the crock pot and set it to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
  8. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas.
