The stew with potatoes, mushrooms, and peas is a second course of ancient origin, very comforting in its soft and velvety taste that characterizes it, capable of refreshing and giving new energy on cold winter days.
Everyone enriches this preparation according to their family tradition, but I think the combination of succulent meat with soft potatoes, peas, and mushrooms is agreeable to all.

Tools

Preparation
Cut the meat into fairly small cubes (about 1.2 inches x 1.2 inches) and flour them.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks.
Wash the tomatoes, remove the skin and seeds, then cut them into pieces.
In a large pan, lightly fry the finely sliced onion.
Add the meat pieces and, turning them, brown them for a few minutes.
Add the wine and let it evaporate.
Salt, add rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and by adding hot broth or water, cook for about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Add hot broth (or hot water) if needed, but do not overdo it.
Consider that the meat during cooking should always remain covered by the broth, but just barely.
When the meat is tender, add more broth, adjust the salt.
At boiling, add the cleaned tomatoes and potatoes.
Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring very gently when needed.
After 20 minutes, add the still frozen peas and mushrooms.
At this stage, add a little hot broth if needed.
Cook for another 15 minutes; in the end, we should have a soft and creamy consistency, not liquid.
The stew with potatoes, mushrooms, and peas is ready.
