1 pound trimmed boneless beef sirloin steak, about 3/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 cup water
1 jar (12 ounces) beef gravy
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas & carrots, about 1 1/2 cups
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, cut in half
Preparation:
Cut trimmed steak lengthwise in half then crosswise into 1/4-inch wide strips. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, stir fry beef for 1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface is browned. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon; set aside.
To the same skillet, add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and water. Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion is tender. Stir in gravy, frozen peas and carrots, and thyme. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Stir in browned beef. If skillet is not ovenproof, transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Arrange biscuit halves in a ring on top of beef pie mixture. Bake beef pot pie at 400° for 12 to 14 minutes, or until biscuit topping is golden brown.
