Ingredients

For The Filling

  • 1 lb chuck roast cut into small chunks
  • 1 ½ cups frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup canned diced potatoes
  • ½ yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 1 ¼ cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For The Crust

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts or
  • 2 cans of crescent rolls for tops only (about 2 per top)
  • Optional: 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Make the Filling (Instant Pot Version):
  • Set your Instant Pot to Sauté mode.
  • Heat olive oil or butter in the Instant Pot.
  • Season the beef with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the beef and sear it until browned on all sides.
  • With the Instant Pot still on Sauté mode, add the chopped onions, veggies and potatoes.. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions soften.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, rosemary, garlic powder and thyme, cooking for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to Sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 35 minutes.
  • After cooking, carefully perform a Quick Release to release the pressure.
  • Open the lid and sprinkle the flour over the filling, then stir well.
  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode again and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Prepare the Crusts:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  • Grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin.
  • Roll out dough and cut 6 large circles (5–6") for the bottoms.
  • Press the dough circles into the muffin cups to form the bottom crusts.
  • Use crescent dough and roll up 6 tops.
  • Assemble the Pies:
  • Spoon the cooled filling into each crust-lined muffin cup, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Place a crescent top on each pie. Seal the edges by pinching the dough together.
  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg for an egg wash, if desired.
  • Bake:
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pies cool for 5–10 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.

Notes

Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
