Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup grape juice (as a substitute for red wine)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed beef with flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until the beef is evenly coated.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, grape juice, and tomato paste. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Return the seared beef to the skillet and add the frozen peas and corn. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a large pie dish or baking dish. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it over the top of the dish, trimming any excess. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
  7. Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use well-marbled beef stew meat for the best flavor and tenderness. If the gravy is too thin, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water and stir it into the simmering mixture. Customize the vegetables by adding or substituting mushrooms, potatoes, or green beans. You can prepare the filling a day ahead and assemble the pot pie just before baking.
