One Pot Pie with Beef

Heat the olive oil, in a saucepan over medium heat, add the steak and brown on all sides. Pour in enough water to almost cover. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer until meat is tender and falls apart easily, about 2 to 3 hours. Transfer meat to a large mixing bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.

In a separate 2-quart saucepan set over medium heat, pour in beef broth and add carrots and potatoes. Cook until fork tender; about 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Using a slotted spoon transfer cooked vegetables to the large mixing bowl with the beef; leaving the cooking liquid in the pan.

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the 1/3 cup of water. Pour into the saucepan of beef broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat; cook for 5 minutes.

Coat a 2-quart round casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon beef mixture into prepared casserole dish. Pour the beef broth gravy over the top of the mixture.
