  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup grape juice
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Add Liquids: Slowly pour in the beef broth and grape juice, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
  5. Simmer: Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is tender. Stir in the frozen peas and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
  7. Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Form Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the hot filling, spacing them evenly.
  10. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Bake: Place the pot in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Serve: Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting herbed biscuit beef pot pie!

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuits. Avoid overmixing the biscuit dough to prevent toughness. Customize herbs like sage or oregano for unique flavors. The filling can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
