Ingredients

• 1 lb beef stew meat
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper, then sear the pieces in the pot until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the butter to the pot. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously to create a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the beef broth until the mixture thickens into a gravy-like consistency.

Step 7

Return the seared beef to the pot and stir in the diced potato, peas, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Simmer the mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Roll out one pie crust and place it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough overhanging the edges.

Step 10

Pour the beef and vegetable filling evenly into the pie crust-lined dish.

Step 11

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal the edges by pinching the top and bottom crusts together, then trim any excess dough.

Step 12

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny crust when baked.

Step 14

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 15

Remove the pot pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
