Steak, Ale & Mushroom Pie

This dish promises not only satiety but also satisfaction with each bite. The combination of ingredients creates a robust filling that is perfectly complemented by a golden, crispy crust.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 lb (450g) beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup (240ml) ale (such as a stout or porter)
• 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are golden.
3. Return the browned beef to the pot. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat.
4. Pour in the ale and beef broth, then add the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally, and if the mixture becomes too thick, add a bit more broth.
6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
7. Once the beef is tender, pour the filling into a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and cover the filling. Trim any excess pastry and make a few slits on top to allow steam to escape.
8. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a nice golden color when baked.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
10. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Steak, Ale & Mushroom Pie!
