Description
A comforting pot pie with tender beef and vegetables topped with cheesy cheddar biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef on all sides until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Return beef to the pot. Stir in thyme and rosemary.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until beef is tender.
- While the pot pie filling cooks, prepare the biscuit topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
- Once the beef is tender, remove the pot from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the hot pot pie filling.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the filling.
- Ensure your butter and milk are cold for the best biscuit texture.
- If the filling seems too thick, add a little more beef broth.
