Ingredients

• 700g (1.5 lb) beef stewing steak - cut into bite-sized chunks
• 400g (7 oz) mushrooms - quartered
• 1 large onion - finely chopped
• Small bunch of Thyme
• 2 tablespoons plain flour - for thickening the gravy
• 500ml (17 fl oz) beef stock - for a rich gravy base
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil - for frying the steak and vegetables
• 1 sheet puff pastry - to cover the pie and create a flaky crust
• 1 egg - beaten, for brushing the pastry
• Salt and pepper - to season

Method

1. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F) in preparation for baking the pie.

2. Brown the steak: In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chunks of beef, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the steak and set aside.

3. Cook the vegetables: In the same pan, add the chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the onions are softened and the mushrooms have released their moisture.

4. Make the gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the beef stock, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine and let the gravy simmer until it thickens slightly.

5. Return the steak: Add the browned steak back to the pan, mixing it into the gravy. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the Flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.

6. Assemble the pie: Transfer the steak and mushroom mixture into a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry to fit the top of the dish, then place it over the filling, trimming any excess pastry.

7. Brush with egg: Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

8. Bake the pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

9. Serve hot: Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
