Ingredients

Scale
  • 11/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold salted butter, diced
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 pounds beef brisket or boneless chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces button or baby bella mushrooms, quartered
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Egg wash

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour and diced cold butter until crumbly. Add sour cream gradually until dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat high-heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef pieces in batches until browned. Remove from pot.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onions, mushrooms, carrots, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper until softened. Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook for one additional minute.
  4. Return seared beef to the pot with beef broth and brown sugar. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer for about two hours until the beef is tender.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out half of the chilled dough for your baking dish or ramekins. Fill with beef mixture and cover with rolled-out dough; seal edges and cut slits on top.
  6. Brush with egg wash and bake for approximately 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
