Ingredients

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

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

In a large bowl, toss the cubed beef with flour, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. This will help thicken the stew later.

2. Sear the Beef

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced potatoes. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

4. Combine and Simmer

Return the beef to the pot. Add beef broth, grape juice, tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

5. Add Peas and Prepare the Crust

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

6. Assemble the Pot Pie

Transfer the beef stew mixture to a large baking dish. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it over the top of the dish. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

7. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

Expert Tips

• Use Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh thyme and rosemary, use them instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the beef stew a day ahead and assemble the pot pie just before baking.
• Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or celery for extra depth of flavor.
