Chris's Beef Pot Pie with Flaky Crust


Description

Filling: Beef chuck, Yellow squash, green beans, zucchini and a small amount of new red potatoes.
I cut the chuck roast into small chunks and dust with a little flour. Sauté with a little vegetable oil till lightly brown, but not cooked through. Put the beef in a crock pot with a bay leaf, basil, two cloves of garlic. Cover the beef with water (about four cups) and put the crock pot on low for about four hours.
I take the beef from the stock and place in a pie dish and sauté the green beans, yellow squash, and zucchini in a little oil and salt. I make a roux with butter and add the juices from the stock pot (strain), thicken and pour over beef and vegetables.

Ingredients

   
Crust
2 c
whole wheat flour (unbleached)
1⁄2 c
butter
1⁄2 t
salt
1⁄4 c
water

Instructions

Cut the butter/cold into the flour, add salt, water and knead and roll out to circle shape and put over beef and vegetables. Cook at 450 degrees for 30-45 minutes until crust is brown. I think it is a perfect medley of carbs, protein and vegetables. I eat it with a big salad.
