Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready when your pot pie is assembled and ready for baking.

Cook Steak: Heat oil in a skillet over high heat, then add the steak. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is nicely browned. Once browned, remove the steak from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set it aside for later.
-
Prepare Vegetable Mixture: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
-
Combine Ingredients: Stir in the gravy, vegetable mix, and dried thyme leaves. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
-
Incorporate Steak: Once the mixture is bubbling, reintroduce the cooked steak to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Transfer to Baking Dish: Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully pour the savory beef and vegetable mixture into a 9×9 inch baking pan or casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Prepare Biscuit Topping: Cut the biscuits in half, then arrange them in a ring on top of the steak mixture in the baking dish.
-
Season and Bake: Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the biscuit topping for an extra burst of flavor. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
-
