Ingredients

• 1 pound beef chuck, cubed
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 sheets pre-made pie crust
• 1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cubed beef, flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the beef is evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Return the seared beef to the skillet and add the thyme leaves, bay leaf, and frozen peas. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, then remove the bay leaf. Taste the filling and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 7

Roll out one sheet of the pre-made pie crust and press it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Roll out the second sheet of pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the edges, then crimp the top and bottom crusts together to seal.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
