Cut the lamb shoulder into large chunks, trimming off excess fat. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb pieces on all sides, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté diced onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add tomato paste to the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat them evenly.
Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
Return the lamb to the pot. Add beef stock, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 2.5-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs. Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
