Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 celery stalks, sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup grape juice (or vegetable broth)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup frozen peas

For the Herbed Biscuit Topping:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup whole milk

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the beef broth and grape juice, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Return the beef to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
6. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and discard.

2. Prepare the Herbed Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, parsley, and chives.
3. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

3. Assemble and Bake

1. Transfer the beef filling to a 9×13-inch baking dish or a large oven-safe skillet.
2. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the top of the beef filling, spacing them evenly.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
4. Let the pot pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
