Ingredients

• 300 g Plant-based steak strips
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 150 g, sliced Mushrooms
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 100 ml Vegetable stock
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 150 g, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 sheet, thawed Frozen puff pastry sheet
• 2 tbsp (for brushing) Milk
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Stir in the plant-based steak strips and cook for 3 minutes to warm through.

Step 7

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 100 ml of vegetable stock to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Season with 0.5 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to fit your pie dish, leaving a little overhang.

Step 11

Place the cooled filling into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 12

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.

Step 13

Cover the pie with another layer of puff pastry, pressing the edges to seal and trimming off any excess pastry.

Step 14

Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with 2 tablespoons of milk for a golden finish.

Step 15

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

Step 16

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
