Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot and brown the meat on all sides, 5 minutes. Set aside.

Add onion, carrot, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the same pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, until onion is translucent. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more. The paste should mix nicely with the veggies.

Add wine, soy sauce, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 3 minutes, until reduced by half. Add pâté, tomato sauce, and stir well. Add browned beef chunks and enough water to cover them. Add bay leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer covered over low heat for about 2 hours, until beef is fork-tender.

When there are about 10 minutes of cooking left, add red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and peas. Enjoy!
