  2. In your slow cooker, add the seasoned stew beef along with the chopped potatoes, carrots, diced onion, and minced garlic. Stir in the tomato paste, coconut aminos, and beef broth until well mixed.
  3. Place the lid on your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas.
  5. If desired, whisk arrowroot flour with water and stir into the stew for thickening during the last 30 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
