Add onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary.

To thicken, mix 2 tbsp flour with a few spoonfuls of broth to create a slurry. Stir into stew and simmer on “Sauté” for 5 minutes.

Step 6: Serve

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread.
