Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1/2 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, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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 cup frozen corn
  • 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 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, carrots, and celery. Cook 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 and grape juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes.
  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 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the beef and gravy mixture to a large 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 crust.
  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 fresh herbs for a more vibrant flavor. You can prepare the beef and gravy mixture a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake the pot pie just before serving. For an extra flaky crust, chill the puff pastry in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before rolling it out.
