Steps:
- Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 400°. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high. Season 1/2 cup flour with salt and pepper. Add beef and toss to coat; shake off excess. Working in batches as needed to avoid steaming meat, cook beef, turning often, until browned all over, 8-10 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
- Cook bacon in same pot, stirring often, until brown and crisp. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, scraping up browned bits, then add onion, leek, and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and parsley and return beef to pot. Add brandy and simmer until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Add thyme leaves, bay leaf, star anise, broth, and wine and season with salt and pepper; bring to a simmer.
- Mix 1 tablespoon flour and 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl until smooth; stir into meat mixture. Cover pot and braise in oven until beef is very tender, 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and pearl onions and cook, stirring, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add mushrooms and onions to stew, cover pot, and return to oven. Cook until onions are very tender, 25-30 minutes. Let stew cool.
- Meanwhile, working with one at a time, roll out pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until about 4" larger than baking dish (use a 2-qt. oval or an 8" square). Place 1 sheet on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill. Transfer remaining sheet to baking dish. Lift up edge and let dough slump down into dish. Trim, leaving about 1" overhang. Transfer stew to baking dish. Brush edge of pastry with egg.
- Using a cutter, punch out a circle in the center of chilled pastry. Drape pastry over filling and trim to a 1" overhang. Press edges of dough together to seal and fold overhang under. Crimp edge, then brush top of pastry with egg.
- Bake until crust is deep golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let pie cool slightly.
- Do ahead: Stew can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:
- Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for chuck roast or short ribs.
- Brown the beef in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure even browning.
- Use a good quality red wine for the braising liquid. A dry red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot will work well.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the pot pie filling. This will add flavor and nutrients.
- Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out.
- Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Conclusion:
Beef Bourguignonne Pot Pie is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner. The rich and flavorful beef stew filling is complemented perfectly by the flaky pie crust. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
