- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Beef Filling
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté onions, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually add beef broth while stirring constantly. Return the beef to the skillet and add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in frozen peas.
Make the Herbed Biscuit Topping
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in parsley, then add milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Assemble and Bake
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the hot beef filling, covering the surface evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
This comforting dish pairs wonderfully with simple sides like our Crispy Air Fryer Garlic Green Beans for a complete meal.
Expert Tips
- Make ahead: Prepare the beef filling up to 2 days in advance and store refrigerated. Reheat before adding biscuit topping and baking.
- Biscuit perfection: Keep butter cold and handle the dough minimally for the fluffiest biscuits.
- Vegetable variations: Add mushrooms, potatoes, or corn for different flavor profiles.
- Freezing: Freeze the baked pie for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
