How to Make Beef and Herbed Biscuit Pot Pie
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp. Butter
- 1/2 Medium Onion, Finely Chopped
- 3 stalks Celery, Thinly Sliced
- 3 Large Carrots, Peeled and Thinly Sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 6 Tbsp. All-purpose Flour
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 3 cups Beef Broth
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 3 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 3 cups Frozen Sweet Peas
- 4 cups Shredded or Diced Cooked Beef
- 3 cups All-purpose Einkorn Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp. Dried Thyme
- 1/4 tsp. Dried Rosemary
- 1/2 tsp. Dried Parsley
- 8 Tbsp. Cold Butter, Sliced
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk or more if needed
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sliced celery, and carrots. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and flour. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt, pepper, and stir in the chopped parsley, frozen peas, and cooked beef. Pour the filling into a 13×9-inch baking dish.
- To make the biscuit dough, combine the Einkorn flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and dried parsley in a food processor. Add the sliced cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and fold it into thirds three times to create layers.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle. Cut it into squares and place them on top of the beef filling in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown.
How to Serve Beef and Herbed Biscuit Pot Pie
Serve the Beef and Herbed Biscuit Pot Pie hot from the oven. Each serving should include plenty of both the savory filling and a fluffy biscuit topping. You can pair it with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
How to Store Beef and Herbed Biscuit Pot Pie
If you have leftovers, let the pot pie cool completely. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 3-4 days. To reheat, place portions in the oven until warmed through.
Tips to Make Beef and Herbed Biscuit Pot Pie
- For extra flavor, use beef broth made from roasted bones or a quality store-bought broth.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like potatoes or corn to the filling for more variety.
- If you don’t have Einkorn flour, you can use regular all-purpose flour for the biscuit dough.
Variation
You can easily make this dish vegetarian by omitting the beef and adding more vegetables like mushrooms or lentils. You can also substitute vegetable broth for a lighter version.
FAQs
1. Can I use raw beef instead of cooked?
Yes, you can use raw beef, but you will need to cook it in the skillet before combining it with the vegetables.
2. Can I freeze the pot pie?
Absolutely! You can freeze it before baking. Wrap it tightly and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just bake it from frozen, adding extra time to the baking process.
3. What can I use instead of buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 3/4 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes before adding it to the dough.
