Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Beef Pot Pie
  1. Begin by cutting your beef chuck roast into medium-large pieces. In a large pot, add the beef along with water, a few sprigs of fresh thyme, and your favorite seasonings. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat, allowing it to cook for approximately 2.5 hours. Stir occasionally until the beef becomes tender, ensuring it doesn’t boil.
  2. Once the beef is tender, stir in the chopped carrots, parsnips, celery, onions, and baby potatoes into the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 25-30 minutes, ensuring the vegetables soften and absorb the flavors.
  3. After cooking, remove the pot from heat and let the beef stew mixture cool for about 15-20 minutes to prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the filling cools. Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions, roll it out if necessary, then place it over your cooled beef filling.
  5. Transfer your assembled Beef Pot Pie to the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the crust is puffed and golden brown.
