Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 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 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, toss the cubed beef with flour, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and grape juice, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Return the beef to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the beef stew filling to a large baking dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the top of the dish. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make Ahead: You can prepare the beef stew filling a day in advance and assemble the pot pie just before baking. Crust Variation: For a homemade touch, try making your own pie crust or using a biscuit topping instead of puff pastry. Extra Flavor: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra umami boost.
