Ingredients:
320g sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
800g stewing beef, chuck or braising steak, cut into chunks
2 Tbsp plain flour
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
500ml beef stock
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg, beaten (for glazing)
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Toss beef in flour, season with salt and pepper.
Brown the beef in batches in hot oil in a large pan. Set aside.
In the same pan, cook onion and garlic until softened.
Return beef to the pan. Add stock, worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer for 1.5–2 hours until beef is tender and sauce thickened.
Transfer filling to a pie dish and let it cool slightly.
Cover with puff pastry, trim edges, and crimp to seal. Cut a small slit in the top.
Brush with beaten egg and bake in the oven for 25–30 mins until golden and puffed.
Serve with Chips & Peas.
