How to Make Beef Pot Pie
This beet pot pie only has 20 minutes of prep time, and then it’s off to the oven! A great way to put some time back into your evening.
- Prepare Dough, Preheat Oven: Roll out the bottom pie crust so it will fit a 12-inch pie pan. Place the lined pie pan in the fridge to keep the dough cold, along with the top portion of the dough. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sear the Beef: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the cubed beef with salt and pepper and then add it to the pan along with the onion. Sauté until the beef is evenly browned.
- Sauté Vegetables: To the pan add the mushrooms, carrots, peas, and garlic. Saute everything together for 8-10 minutes, until the carrots start to soften. Then reduce the heat to low.
- Push the meat and vegetables aside and tip the skillet to accumulate liquid in the open side of the pan, then whisk in the flour. Pour the beef broth over the flour mixture and mix it into the meat and veggies well.
- Add Sauces and Seasonings: Add in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer on low until the gravy thickens.
- Add Crust to Pan: Remove the pie crust from the fridge and fill it with the pot pie filling.
- Bake: Roll out the top crust and lay it over the top of the pie. Crimp the edges of the pie and place it in the oven, bake beef pot pie for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is a golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool at least 10 minutes before enjoying!
Tips and Tricks
