Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 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 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 thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Return the beef to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen peas.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Gradually add milk, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. 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, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuits, don't overmix the dough, customize vegetables as desired, can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
