Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons
  • mixing bowl
  • Dutch oven
  • spatula
  • oven
  • pie dish
  • pastry brush

Ingredients
  

Meat and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

Sauce and Finishing

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Crust and Glaze

  • 1 sheet store-bought pie crust thawed if frozen
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Season the beef cubes evenly with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering, then brown the meat in batches until a crust forms on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
  • Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until the vegetables soften and the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to coat everything. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps, then add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and thyme.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes until the beef is fork-tender and the gravy has thickened. Stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie dish and place the pie crust over the top, crimping the edges against the dish. Cut 3-4 small slits in the center of the crust to vent steam, then brush the entire surface with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Let the pie rest before serving to allow the filling to set. You can use a pre-made pie crust for convenience.
