Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef Sirloin, stew chunks, etc
  • 2 tsp Tony Chachere's Bold Creole Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ lb diced potatoes russett
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • ½ cup canned corn
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • ¾ cup dry red wine
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • ½ package of puff pastry
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Before chopping and seasoning, tenderize the beef with a meat tenderizing mallet (I use the spikey side for this). Cut into bit size cubes. Place in small bowl, mix with one teaspoon of Tony Chachere's, and set aside. Dice potato into small cubes. Set aside.
  • Heat one tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat (I used cast iron). Saute half of the onions and garlic in the hot oil for about 2-3 minutes. Add the diced celery and carrots. Saute for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat the other tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan. Add the other half of the onions and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add seasoned beef and brown the outsides. Saute for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Return carrot and celery mixture to the pan with the beef. Stir well. Add corn.
  • Pour in wine and beef broth. Stir in diced potatoes, the other teaspoon of Tony's and the dried thyme. Bring to a boil.
  • Take cornstarch and mix with a tiny bit of COLD water (maybe a tablespoon). Stir until it becomes a paste. Pour into pan and stir well.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cut puff pastry to the size of the oven safe pan you will use to bake pot pie. I used 6 inch cast iron pans. You can use full pie pans, larger cast irons, ramekins etc.
  • After the filling is finished simmering, transfer to baking dish of choice and fill it. Cover with puff pastry and press down edges to seal the sides.
  • Bake for at 400°F for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, brush melted butter on top of the pastry to brown it. Continue to bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Let cool for a few minutes, and enjoy!
