Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • large dutch oven or pot
  • mixing bowl
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • oven
  • pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 celery stalks, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 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

Letting the pie rest before serving helps the filling set for easier slicing.
