Ingredients
- 1 lb beef stew meat, cubed
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef Filling
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Make the Gravy
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens.
4. Combine the Beef and Vegetables
Return the browned beef to the skillet and add the frozen peas. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Prepare the Biscuit Topping
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and chopped parsley until just combined.
6. Assemble and Bake
Transfer the beef filling to a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the top of the filling. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of grape juice to the beef filling.
- Make sure the biscuit dough is dropped evenly over the filling to ensure even baking.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can add a bit more flour to the mixture.
