Instructions

Collect all necessary ingredients.

Brown the beef chunks in a saucepan over medium heat. Add enough water to nearly cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.

Transfer the cooked meat to a large mixing bowl. Shred it lightly and season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, pour in the beef broth and add the carrots and potatoes. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are nearly tender.

Once the carrots and potatoes are cooked, transfer them to the large mixing bowl with the beef, leaving the liquid behind. Add the peas to the mixture of carrots, potatoes, and beef.

Mix cornstarch with 1/3 cup of water until dissolved. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the beef broth, stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes.

Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust, following the instructions on the package. Add the beef mixture to the pie crust, then pour the gravy over the top. Cover with the second pie crust.

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden and crisp, about 25 minutes. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
