There is nothing the warm, comforting flavor of pot pie. And, on busy nights, recipes that can be made in a skillet in 30 minutes is always winner.

Why This Beef Pot Pie Recipe Works

This 30 minute Beef Pot Pie recipe is one of my all-time favorite easy beef recipes. The tender steak cooked in a rich, decadent sauce and topped with buttery, herb-y biscuits just makes me feel warm inside.

This pot pie is a great 30 minute meal because it uses tender Certified Angus Beef ® brand sirloin steak. By swapping traditional stew meat for sirloin steak ensures the beef will cook in 30 minutes while staying perfectly tender and flavorful.

Traditionally, a pot pie recipe is made with a pie crust, but this one takes a more Southern twist by using biscuits on top. The buttered herb biscuits are perfect for sopping up the sauce. They also make a great vehicle for scooping up the tender steak.

How to Make This Beef Pot Pie Recipe – Step by Step

Sear the steak: In a large, oven safe skillet, sear the Certified Angus Beef ® brand sirloin steak on all sides. It’s OK if it’s not cooked all the way through, it will finish cooking at the end. (Photo 1 below)
Add onion: Once the steak is finished cooking, remove it from the skillet and add the onion. (Photo 2 below)
Add garlic and herbs: Once the onion is softened, add the garlic and herbs. (Photo 3 below)
Pour in red wine: With the wine in the skillet, stir up the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet – that’s where the flavor is. All the wine to reduce and concentrate its flavor. (Photo 4 below)

Stir in flour: This is going to help thicken the sauce. (Photo 1 below)
Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth: I use low sodium beef broth because I can easily control the salt that’s added to the recipe. (Photo 2 below)
Add the steak back: Add the steak that was cooked earlier and any juices that accumulated on the plate. (Photo 3 below)
Stir in thawed frozen mixed veggies: Frozen mixed veggies are a great short cut. If you forgot to thaw them (I usually do), simply pop them into the microwave for a few minutes. (Photo 4 below)

Make the herb butter topping: Add butter, garlic powder and herbs to a small, microwave safe bowl. (Photo 1 below)
Melt the butter: Melt butter, garlic and herbs in the microwave. (Photo 2 below)
Par-Bake the biscuits and place them on top: Par-baking the biscuits ensures that the bottoms cook through and are not raw. You can do this step while the pot pie is simmering on the stove. (Photo 3 below)
Brush butter on top: Brush the herb butter on top of the biscuits with a basting brush. Make sure you get it all over, including the sides of the biscuits. (Photo 4 below)
