Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 lbs beef (chuck or brisket), cut into cubes
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh thyme and rosemary, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
For the Pie
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add Liquids and Seasoning:
- Return the beef to the pot. Stir in the beef stock, red wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Prepare the Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Once the filling is ready, transfer it to a pie dish. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cover the pie dish, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Serve:
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty steak pie with steak chips, potatoes, and shallots!
