Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the beef chunks on all sides, then transfer them to the crockpot.
In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
Add the sautéed mixture to the crockpot.
Layer the carrots and potatoes over the beef.
In a bowl, mix the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Pour the broth mixture into the crockpot, ensuring the meat and veggies are covered.
Cover and set the crockpot to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Check for tenderness; the beef should be fork-tender.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
