The one pot Beef Stew with Biscuit Topping is so easy to make in the oven! The rich and comforting beef and vegetable filling is topped with easy store-bought biscuit mix and baked to perfection.
Heat oven to 325°F. In a bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper; toss with beef until coated well. In a 6-quart Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. in two batches, cook beef (adding 1 tablespoon oil to second batch), turning, until browned, about 4 min. Transfer to a plate. Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic to pot. Cook, stirring until wilted, 8 min. Stir in beef, mushrooms, wine, broth, steak sauce and Italian seasoning. Cover; bake 50 min. Remove from oven.
About 20 min before serving, stir together biscuit mix and milk until just combined.
Increase oven to 400°. (To make individual servings, transfer beef mixture to pint-size casserole pans.) Drop biscuit batter in mounds over beef mixture. Bake, uncovered, until biscuits are lightly browned, 15 to 20 min.
