Ingredients

For the Beef Filling:

• 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup grape juice (as a substitute for wine)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 cup frozen peas

For the Herbed Biscuit Topping:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup whole milk

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef Filling

1. Season the Beef: In a large bowl, toss the cubed beef with flour, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
2. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine and Simmer: Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the beef broth, grape juice, tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

2. Prepare the Herbed Biscuit Topping

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, parsley, and chives.
2. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

3. Assemble and Bake

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Transfer Filling: Pour the beef filling into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Add Biscuit Topping: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the beef filling, spacing them evenly.
4. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
