How to Make Beefy Stew

1. Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
2. In a large bowl, toss beef with flour until evenly coated.
3. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
4. Add 1/3 of the beef to the hot oil and sear until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
5. Repeat steps 4 with the remaining beef in two more batches.
6. Add beef broth to the Dutch oven and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
7. Return all seared beef to the pot.
8. Stir in cream of mushroom soup. Simmer uncovered until the liquid slightly thickens and the beef is tender, about 15 minutes.
9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Divide the stew equally among 4 oven-safe mugs.
11. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly and cut into 4 (4-inch) rounds.
12. Moisten the rims of the mugs with water. Gently top each mug with a puff pastry round, pressing the edges to seal.
13. Place mugs on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
