Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef chuck
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 sheets prepared pie dough (top and bottom)
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the beef chuck into 1-inch cubes and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the butter and let it melt. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the thyme, rosemary, remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Return the seared beef to the skillet, along with the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Roll out one sheet of pie dough and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough that hangs over the edges.
Pour the beef and vegetable filling into the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second sheet of pie dough and lay it over the filling. Trim any excess dough, then pinch the edges together to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the beaten egg over the top crust for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
