Pies are the ultimate comfort food when the calendar says winter. Here we have beef in cubes and carrots in a lovely sauce made with red wine, stock, tomato paste and herbs. Feel free to use a meat cut such as chuck or neck, which are particularly good in braising dishes.
If you have small oven-safe bowls, it looks nice with individual pot pies. However, you can also use a large oven-safe dish and make one large pie instead.
Enjoy your pot pies with mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables.
