Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup grape juice (as a substitute for red wine)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed beef with flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until the beef is evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and grape juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Return the seared beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Stir in the frozen peas and corn, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a large baking dish. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and place it over the top of the dish, trimming any excess. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

Notes

Use quality beef for tenderness and flavor. Thicken the gravy with cornstarch if needed. Customize with additional vegetables like mushrooms or potatoes. Can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
