Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 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 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 pot over medium-high heat. Add the coated beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced 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 the mixture to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas and corn, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a large baking dish. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it over the top of the dish. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky. Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the beef filling a day in advance. Customize vegetables like mushrooms or potatoes. For extra flavor, use a combination of beef and vegetable broth. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
