Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
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.
