Description
Experience comfort in every bite with this ultimate homemade beef pot pie. A golden, flaky crust encases tender chunks of beef and colorful vegetables, all enveloped in a rich and savory gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cubed
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 14-ounce can of beef broth
- 3 large carrots, diced
- 3 medium potatoes, cubed
- 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts, 9-inch
Instructions
- Prepare the beef by browning it in a large skillet over medium-high heat after seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Simmer the beef with enough water to almost cover it and cook until fork-tender.
- In a medium saucepan, simmer beef broth and cook diced carrots and potatoes until just shy of tender.
- Transfer beef to a mixing bowl and break into pieces, then add vegetables and peas.
- Make the gravy by whisking cornstarch with cold water and then incorporating it into hot beef broth.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Assemble the pot pie with one pie crust on the bottom, filling with beef and veggies, then pour gravy on top.
- Top with the second pie crust, seal, and crimp edges. Cut small slits for steam to escape.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Temperature matters: Allow pie crusts to warm at room temperature before using to prevent cracking.
- Browning beef deeply enhances flavor.
- Brush egg white on the bottom crust to avoid sogginess.
- Steady whisking while adding cornstarch prevents lumps.
- Look for a golden-brown crust and bubbling filling for doneness.
