Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef stew meat Cut into cubes
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped Fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced Peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup peas Fresh or frozen
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth Can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp butter For cooking the onions
  • 1 tsp salt To taste
  • 1/2 tsp pepper To taste
  • 1 tsp thyme Dried or fresh
  • 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade Can substitute with puff pastry or biscuit topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the beef stew meat to the skillet. Cook until it's browned on all sides.
  4. Stir in the chopped carrots, diced potatoes, peas, and thyme. Sprinkle the flour onto the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
  5. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into a pie dish. Cover it with your pie crust, making slits for steam to escape.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking. The filling should be thick but not dry; add more broth if necessary. Don't skip the slits in the crust to avoid a soggy pie.
