  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute.
  4. Return beef to the pot and add beef broth, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, bringing to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours until beef is nearly tender.
  6. Add sweet potato chunks and continue simmering for 30-40 minutes until sweet potatoes and beef are completely tender.
  7. Stir in frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking and adjust seasoning before serving.
