This recipe uses a combination of fresh ingredients and pantry staples to create a flavorful pie that’s perfect for a family dinner or a cozy gathering. Here’s how to make this delicious Beef Pot Pie that serves up to six people.
Ingredients
- Pie Crust: 1 double pie crust (store-bought is fine)
- Butter: ¼ cup
- Beef Chuck Roast: 1 ½ pounds, cut into ½ inch cubes
- Salt and Pepper: to taste
- Yellow Onion: 1 small, diced
- Baby Bella Mushrooms: 8 ounces, sliced
- Carrots: 2 cups, diced
- Frozen Peas: 1 cup
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- All-Purpose Flour: ½ cup
- Beef Broth: 2 cups
- Soy Sauce: 1 tablespoon
- Worcestershire Sauce: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Roll out the bottom pie crust to fit a 12-inch pie pan. Place the lined pie pan and the top portion of the dough in the fridge to keep them cold. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Season the cubed beef with salt and pepper, then sauté it with the diced onion until evenly browned.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms, diced carrots, peas, and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to sauté for 8-10 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
- Make the Gravy: Push the cooked meat and vegetables to one side of the skillet. Tip the skillet slightly so the liquid pools on one side and whisk in the flour. Gradually stir in the beef broth, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Season: Incorporate the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce into the skillet. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens.
- Assemble the Pie: Take the pie crust out of the fridge and fill it with the beef and vegetable mixture.
- Top and Bake: Roll out the top crust and lay it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the crust turns a golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
