Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and 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 vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Return the beef to the skillet and add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in frozen peas and remove from heat.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, parsley, and thyme. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour in milk and stir until just combined - do not overmix.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the beef filling.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for flaky biscuits, don't overmix the biscuit dough, customize vegetables as desired, and the filling can be made 2 days ahead.
