How To Make Beef And Biscuits Recipe.
Welcome Friends! Welcome back to the kitchen today we're going to do a riff on a beef pot pie recipe that I like to call beef and biscuits.
Ingredients:
Biscuits
500 mL (2 cups) all-purpose flour
10 mL (2 tsp) sugar
10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder
2 mL (½ tsp) coarse salt
375 mL (1½ cups) 35% whipping cream

Stew
1 Kg (2 pounds) stewing beef cut into ¾" pieces
Salt and pepper
45 mL (3 Tbsp) oil
2-3 carrots, chopped
300g (10 ounces) mushrooms, quartered
1 onion, chopped fine
1 rib celery
45 mL (3 Tbsp) tomato paste
30 mL (2 Tbsp) all-purpose flour
125 mL (½ cup) wine
250 - 375 mL (2-3 cups) beef broth
30 mL (2 Tbsp) Marmite or Vegemite
250 mL (1 cup) frozen peas
250 mL (1 cup) frozen corn


Method:
Pre heat the oven to 230ºC (450ºF).
Biscuit:
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir in the cream just until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and form into a 3/4”-thick round.
Cut into 8 wedges using a pizza cutter.
Cook on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, until golden brown. 15 - 20 minutes.
(***Or hold and cook on top of stew)

Stew:
Reduce oven heat to 200ºC (400ºF) (after baking biscuit)
Season beef with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in an oven-safe braiser over medium-high heat.
Add beef and cook until browned on all sides; transfer to bowl.
Add carrots, mushrooms, onion, and celery to braiser and cook over medium heat until mushrooms have released all their moisture.
Stir in tomato paste cook 1-2 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in wine and cook until completely evaporated.
Stir in broth and Marmite, scraping up any fond from bottom of the pan.
Return the browned beef and any accumulated juices.
Cover, transfer braiser to oven, and cook until beef is tender, about 1 hour.
Remove braiser from oven and stir in the peas and corn.
Top with the biscuit.

***If cooking biscuit on top of stew, hold off on making biscuit until the stew is in the oven.
For last 20 minutes of cooking remove braiser lid, add peas and corn, and top stew with the uncooked biscuit.
Continue baking until biscuit is golden brown.
