Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1/4 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, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup grape juice (as a substitute for wine)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, toss the cubed beef with flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, grape juice, and tomato paste. Stir in the dried 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 it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a large pie dish or individual ramekins. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the top of the dish, trimming any excess. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the filling a day in advance. Customize vegetables like mushrooms or potatoes for variety. Brush the puff pastry with melted butter for an extra flaky crust. Individual ramekins can be used for portion control.
