 In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil over medium heat.
 Stir in tomato paste, herbes de Provence and garlic;
 cook until fragrant and color starts to darken slightly.
 Add wine; cook until mixture just comes to a boil.
 Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in
 broth, 1 teaspoon rosemary and bay leaves. Bring to a
 boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is almost
 tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

 Add potatoes, onions and carrots. Cover; simmer until
 meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.

 Discard bay leaves. In a small bowl, combine remaining
 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and
 remaining 2 tablespoon flour. Add cold water and
 vinegar; stir until smooth. Stir into stew. Bring to a
 boil; add peas. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2
 minutes. If desired, top with additional fresh rosemary.
