First, prepare the beef by cutting it into 2-inch pieces and cut the vegetables to the sizes listed.*
In a medium bowl, mix the gluten-free flour with salt and pepper, and then toss the meat in the flour mixture to coat.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches. Add half the beef to the skillet in a single layer with some room between each, and brown on each side for 2-3 minutes. Place the browned beef in a 6-qt slow cooker.
Reduce the heat on the skillet to medium, add another tablespoon of oil, and cook the onion for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the crushed cloves of garlic and cook for one more minute. Add the onions and garlic to the slow cooker and any scrapings from the skillet.
Next, add the cut potatoes, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker.
Then add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-9 hours.
Remove the bay leaves. Add in the peas and then mix together the cornstarch and water and stir into the stew to thicken the broth.
Cover and cook for 15 more minutes.

If putting this together in the morning to slow cook all day, you could have all the ingredients pre-cut the night before.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Can also be frozen for 3-4 months.
