Ingredients
  

  • 1000 g beef shoulder or chuck cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 150 g mushrooms sliced
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 carrots sliced into rounds
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 125 ml beef broth
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 350 ml additional beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 sheet puff pastry or shortcrust pastry
  • 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp milk (for glazing)

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Rolling pin (if not using pre-rolled pastry)
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown half the beef cubes for 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Remove browned beef and repeat with remaining cubes.
  4. In the same pot, add the remaining oil, mushrooms, onions, and carrots; cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup of beef broth and let it reduce slightly.
  7. Sprinkle flour over the veggies and stir to avoid lumps.
  8. Gradually whisk in the remaining broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, bay leaf, and sugar until thickened.
  9. Return beef to pot, bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer covered for 1.5-2 hours.
  10. Stir in peas and thyme during the last 10 minutes, then cool the filling.
  11. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  12. Transfer cooled filling to a 9-inch pie dish and drape pastry over the top; seal edges.
  13. Cut a slit in the center for steam to escape and brush with egg wash.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown; let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

This Savory Beef Pie is perfect for meal prep, and leftovers often taste even better the next day! Avoid rushing the browning process as it enhances the flavor. Experiment with herbs and serve with a crisp green salad to complement the richness. For added convenience, consider using store-bought pastry and be sure to chill the filling before assembling the pie to prevent a soggy bottom. Enjoy your cooking!
