Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season beef cubes with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove beef and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth. Add Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Return the beef to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  4. While the filling simmers, prepare the biscuit topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and herbs until just combined.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Stir frozen peas into the beef filling. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the hot filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbly.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits, don't overmix the dough, use fresh herbs for best flavor, and the filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance.
