Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds beef chuck cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon thyme dried or fresh
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry or homemade pie dough
  • 1 egg beaten, for egg wash

Equipment

  • Large pot For cooking the beef filling
  • Rolling Pin For rolling out the pastry
  • Baking Dish For assembling the pot pie

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sear beef pieces until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Sprinkle in flour and stir well. Slowly pour in beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  4. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Return the beef to the pot and simmer on low heat for about 1 hour, until tender.
  5. Stir in frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry and lay it over the baking dish. Crimp the edges and brush with beaten egg.
  7. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
  8. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • For extra depth of flavor, add a splash of red wine while deglazing the pan.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for a crispier crust.
  • Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
