Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Return the beef to the skillet and add the frozen peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one pie crust and place it in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into the crust.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal the pie and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For an extra flaky crust, consider making your own pie dough. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can be added to the filling for a burst of freshness. You can prepare the filling a day ahead and assemble the pie just before baking.
