Ingredients

• 500 grams beef chuck steak
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 garlic cloves
• 250 grams button mushrooms
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 sheet shortcrust pastry
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Cut the beef chuck steak into bite-sized cubes and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Dust the beef cubes with flour, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, then set aside.

Step 5

Dice the onion, slice the carrots, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and sauté the onion and carrots for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Slice the button mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.

Step 8

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 9

Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half.

Step 10

Add the cooked beef back to the skillet, along with the beef stock, tomato paste, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Step 11

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.

Step 12

Transfer the beef and mushroom filling to a pie dish and let it cool slightly.

Step 13

Roll out the shortcrust pastry if necessary to fit the size of your pie dish. Place the pastry over the filling and trim any excess. Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork or your fingers.

Step 14

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the pastry with the egg wash to give it a golden finish.

Step 15

Cut a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

Step 16

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 17

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
