Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 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, diced
  • 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 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

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 add beef broth while stirring constantly. Return the beef to the skillet, add thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes until thickened.
  4. While the filling simmers, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and fresh 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 15-20 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, can prepare filling up to 2 days in advance, and customize with additional vegetables like mushrooms or potatoes.
