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, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup grape juice (as a substitute for wine)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Herbed Biscuit Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth and grape juice, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Return the beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat.
2. Prepare the Herbed Biscuit Topping
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
3. Assemble and Bake
- Transfer the beef filling to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the top of the filling, spacing them evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the filling.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water and stir it into the filling before baking.
- To make ahead, prepare the filling and biscuit dough separately and refrigerate. Assemble and bake when ready to serve.
