Pastry-Topped Beef Stew

Brimming with beef and vegetables, this rustic and savory stew is especially enticing because it's topped with a flaky puff pastry round.

Directions

Heat the oven to 425°F. Sprinkle the work surface with half the flour. Unfold the pastry sheet on the floured surface. Cut the pastry into 4 (4-inch) circles with a cutter. Place the pastry circles onto a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastry circles are golden brown.

Season the beef as desired. Coat the beef with the remaining flour.

Heat the oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the beef in 2 batches and cook until it's well browned, stirring often. Pour off any fat.

Stir the soup and broth in the saucepot and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 15 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and the sauce is thickened.

Divide the stew among 4 serving bowls. Top each with 1 pastry circle.
