Step-by-Step Instructions for Beef Pot Pie
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer your assembled Beef Pot Pie to the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the crust is puffed and golden brown.

Notes
For best results, simmer the beef at a low temperature. Cool the filling before topping with pastry, and consider preparing the filling a day in advance.
