This hearty Beef and Mushroom Pot Pie is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for a chilly March evening. Succulent chunks of beef are slow-simmered with an assortment of mushrooms, carrots, peas, and potatoes in a rich, savory gravy.

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
2
Add chopped onion, quartered mushrooms, and diced carrots to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
4
Return the seared beef to the pot. Add diced potatoes. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Stir in frozen peas and remove from oven.
5
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet slightly larger than your pot or pie dish. Place the puff pastry over the beef mixture, trimming excess or crimping edges if using a pie dish. Cut a few small slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg.
6
Return to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of mushrooms?

Absolutely! A mix of mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, or button mushrooms can add more depth of flavor and texture to the pot pie.

What if I don't have a Dutch oven?

You can brown the beef and sauté vegetables in a large pot on the stovetop, then transfer the mixture to a large oven-safe baking dish (like a 9x13 inch casserole dish) before topping with puff pastry and baking.

Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?

Yes, the beef and mushroom filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, reheat the filling gently, then top with puff pastry and bake as directed.
