Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed beef with flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until the beef is evenly coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, grape juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Return the seared beef to the skillet and add the frozen peas and corn. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit the size of your pie dish.
- Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a pie dish. Place the puff pastry over the top, trimming any excess. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Use fresh herbs for extra flavor. Prepare the filling a day ahead for convenience. Customize vegetables like mushrooms or green beans. Keep puff pastry cold for a flaky crust.
